Teachers and students at Emma Elementary are staying on the road to success thanks to one generous business. Through the Subaru “Share the Love” Promise, Prestige Subaru made a promise to 10 teachers to provide them the tools they need to make this year the best one yet. 

“It’s a blessing to be a recipient of this award,” said fourth grade teacher Rebecca Snow. “This award will help us to give students more hands-on learning experiences.”

Each of the 10 sponsored teachers received new classroom supplies from notebooks and pencils to art materials.  A $500 gift card was awarded to each teacher as well, for additional items they may need in their classrooms. 

“As Subaru says, ‘We are not a typical car company’,” said General Manager Scott Rossi.  “It’s kinda nice as a retailer of Subaru automobiles to be able to get out and interact with the community. My parents are both retired school teachers so this is something near and dear to my heart.”

Principal Carla Shipman says the extra support for her school helps them go the extra mile for their students. 

“We are so excited about this opportunity to collaborate with Prestige Subaru to help our students and staff be prepared for a great school year,” said Ms. Shipman. 

Thanks to community partnerships like these, the teachers at Emma Elementary are in the driver’s seat when it comes to student success.
