Cavender Subaru of Norman stopped by Adams Elementary Friday with another generous donation!
For the past four years, Cavender Subaru of Norman has supported Adams Elementary, and this year’s $12,500 donation is making a big difference in classrooms.
These funds go directly to teachers and students, helping provide hands-on materials, classroom resources and new equipment for the PE program. It gives teachers more opportunities to create engaging, everyday learning experiences and helps students have the tools they need to learn and grow.
We’re grateful to Cavender Subaru of Norman for continuing to invest in Adams students and teachers. Your support truly makes a difference!
