'A Day Made Better' for M-DCPS Teachers

MIAMI – OfficeMax, in partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) and Adopt-A-Classroom will donate classroom resources and supplies worth over $19,000 to 14 teachers on Tuesday, October 2. The teachers were nominated because they, like many others over the years, used their own money to purchase supplies for their students.

To honor these teachers, Office Max and Adopt-A-Classroom started “A Day Made Better,” which is a national initiative to help make at least one day better for educators; specifically, by providing more than 1,000 teachers in 1,000 schools across the country with essential classroom supplies.
