Long Subaru Loves Learning

Long Subaru $5,000 Donation

Whether learning from home or in the classroom, many students in our community lack the supplies and resources they need to succeed in school.

Long Subaru is partnering with AdoptAClassroom.org this year to give teachers at Park Avenue Elementary the funding and resources necessary to support students here in Webster, MA.

Thank you to all our teachers! We were proud to be able to present our customer's Messages of Grattude bus to Park Ave Elementary School on September 8th along with school supply donations. We were excited to be able to spend some time with the winners of our $5000 AdoptAClassroom.org donation and learn of the innovative ways they are using it to further accessibility initiatives. Every school year presents challenges, but we all agree that our teachers are working harder than ever to help every student succeed!

Our annual Pack the Outback backpack and school supply drive started over a dozen years ago by our previous service manager, David Eastty. David spoke with many our our customers who have educational careers. They often worried about the students who were not able to afford backpacks to carry their books home with them to study. David decided to go out and buy 25 backpack to donate to the school so that teachers would be able to supply them when needed.

Over the year's our in-store event has grow to included many more items that are in constant need as well as art supplies to encourage creativity and imagination.

Dr. Barbara Malkas, Superintendent of the Webster Public Schools expressed her gratitude for the on-going community partnership with Long Subaru. "As an organization and local business, Long Subaru has supported our schools with the annual "Pack the Outback" event providing much needed school supplies to our neediest students."

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) seeks to "advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people."

Long Subaru is happy to work alongside AAAS and Subaru of America, Inc. to provide students and teachers in our local schools with high-quality STEM education winning and finalist books.

Long Subaru's $12,700 donation provided the Webster Middle School STEM Program with vital technology devices, including: 24 Chromebooks and Recharging Cart, a 3D Printer, Document Cameras and more.

We are extremely pleased to partner with the Webster Public Schools in this important endeavor.
