How to Adopt a Class…

 The ASDAR School Committee began the Adopt-A-Classroom project in 2005 as a means of connecting DAR members with the students and staff at KDS DAR School.  It has proven to be very beneficial for everyone.   It has strengthened the relationships that exist between the DAR and students at KDS DAR School.   Guidelines have been established to help ensure that this special project is organized and efficient.

 Who can adopt a class at KDS?

The adoption is for DAR chapters and/or individual chapter members.

 How long does the adoption last?

One year.

 What if the chapter/individual adopted a class previously?

The chapter/individual  may elect to renew the adoption at the beginning of the school year OR the chapter/individual may elect to choose a different classroom each year.  Please contact ASDAR School Chairman if you plan to keep your classroom.
