tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74096910899442570282012-02-16T00:45:51.339-08:00Welcome to Plumstead's Adopt-A-Classroom blog! As part of this new program, we want you to see the impact that even a small donation can make on an elementary classroom. Enough money to upgrade one classroom has been made available, so we have begun the renovations in the music room. This blog is where you can look to see how much progress we have made. Remember - you do not have to "adopt" an entire classroom. You can pick and choose some of the projects that are part of the package.T.
