Surry County Schools -

The donation was made as part of Subaru Loves Learning®, a national program championed by Subaru of America, Inc. that helps provide funding for teachers at high-needs schools across the country to purchase the school supplies and resources needed to help their students succeed. Scenic Subaru’s donation will benefit more than 625 students by providing teachers with $500 worth of funding each to purchase supplies for the school year on the AdoptAClassroom.org Marketplace.  

“We’re thrilled to support our local teachers and students through the Subaru Loves Learning® initiative," said Landon Teague, sales manager of Scenic Subaru. "Providing essential school supplies is just one way we give back to our community throughout the year, and we are committed to making a lasting impact year-round through various initiatives that support the needs of our neighbors.” 

According to AdoptAClassroom.org, a staggering 92% of teachers nationwide have students from families who can't afford any school supplies. This leads to teachers spending an average of $860 out of their own pockets each year to equip their classrooms. 

"We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation from Scenic Subaru as part of their Subaru Loves Learning initiative," said Matt Scott, principal at Central Middle School. “These essential supplies will make a significant impact on our students’ success this year. Our teachers, staff, and entire school community extend our heartfelt thanks for this support."  

Scenic Subaru’s partnership with Central Middle School is part of their year-round commitment to the community including additional partnerships with Surry Animal Rescue, Novant Health Oncology Specialists – Mt Airy Division, and many more. 

As the largest corporate partner of AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers have supported more than 750,000 students nationwide through the Subaru Loves Learning initiative. This year, Scenic Subaru joins over 630 participating retailers working with the organization to adopt classrooms in high-needs* schools.
