Twenty teachers at Cholla High School got an early-year boost Tuesday morning when Tucson Subaru delivered classroom supply kits and $500 gift cards through the company’s Subaru Loves Learning initiative.
“It’s the second year Tucson Subaru has ‘adopted’ Cholla—giving teachers extra support so they don’t have to shoulder the expenses alone,” Principal Cesar Miranda said. “We know teachers like to buy supplies out of their own pocket and they shouldn’t have to do that.

The dealership’s $10,000 donation equips 20 classrooms with curated kits that include basics like pencils, crayons, dry-erase markers and wipes. Each teacher also received a $500 gift card to purchase additional items through AdoptAClassroom.org’s marketplace based on their students’ needs. School leaders say the effort will benefit more than 420 students this year…
