Adopt A Classroom-- Mu Chapter began the Adopt-A-Classroom project in 2011-2012 to assist early classroom educators. Mu Chapter, Longmont is quite actively supporting schools, teachers and students in our district, and as an professional education service organization, we're most happy to do all that we can to promote education. Volunteers commit to read or otherwise serve in the classrooms, plus gifting of books and supplies round out the services and connection to the new teachers in SVVSD.
