The New York Mills Elementary School has recently announced its Adopt-A-Class partnerships for the 2023-24 school year. 

The following businesses have been chosen to partner with the elementary school this year:

• Farmer’s Daughter Rustic Bakery- Pre-K

• Magnifi Financial (NYM)- Kindergarten

• Dr. Rachel Grieger, DDS- Kindergarten

• NYM Public Library- first grade

• Mills Country Market- first grade

• Designs By Tes- second grade

• Centennial Realty- second grade

• Farmers & Merchants State Bank- third grade

• Mills Locker Plant- fourth grade

• Mills Lanes- fourth grade

• Lake Country Home Care- fifth grade

• Brunswick (NY Mills)- fifth grade

• Lumber Depot- sixth grade

The goal of this project is to build relationships between New York Mills businesses, students, and the community. Adopt-A-Class invites the community into the school in support of teachers and their students. By adopting a class (an entire grade), businesses form partnerships with specific grade levels by providing moral support and positive feedback to students. This partnership also allows students to learn about businesses in NY Mills and share their talents.

This program is intended to be an opportunity for grades to display art/classroom work at the business partnership, find unique ways to work together throughout the year, and possibly a chance for the students to visit their partnered business.

Any and all ideas for collaboration are welcome. Organizers of the Adopt-A-Class program hope it will be a win-win situation…what a great way to improve business/school relationships. It is also a great way to showcase many of the great things that happen in the school.

For any questions about the program, contact NY Mills Elementary Principal – Judith Brockway, or the NYM Elementary School Adopt-A-Class Committee – Bridget Weller, Jacob Krebs and Jaden Karger.
