Each year, OfficeMax® and AdoptAClassroom.org work with school principals nationwide to recognize 1,000 deserving teachers with an A Day Made Better award and donated supplies. Principals nominate a teacher, and, if selected, OfficeMax associates join the principals on the first Tuesday each October with a surprise event to honor the teacher and present the donation.
According to OfficeMax’s website, The OfficeMax A Day Made Better program, in partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, aims to help end the need for teacher-funded classrooms.
