Vista CA— Twenty-nine teachers at Vista’s Casita Center for Technology, Science and Math, 260 Cedar Road, were surprised with a donation totaling more than $18,500 during a school assembly on Friday. The donation included a $7,000 shopping spree with AdoptAClassroom.org and an in-kind donation of OOLY trend-forward arts, crafts and school supplies valued at over $11,500.
“OOLY is aware of the great work Casita Center is doing, and their need for additional resources, as an OOLY employee’s child attends the magnet school. The teachers will use the funds and supplies to create an even better learning experience for their students in the classroom.”
As part of OOLY’s commitment to education, OOLY has teamed-up with AdoptAClassroom.org and become title sponsor of the OOLY Art Fund. The OOLY Art Fund celebrates innovation and creativity in the classroom.
