The Okaloosa County School District (OCSD), in partnership with the Crestview, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Niceville-Valparaiso Chambers of Commerce, is proud to announce the launch of Support to Soar, a community-powered initiative designed to help students thrive by providing essential classroom resources and healthy snacks. Support to Soar invites businesses, organizations, and individuals to “Adopt-a-Classroom” with a monthly contribution of $100 or a one-time donation of $1,200. Each donation bolsters a classroom at one of Okaloosa’s 15 Title I elementary schools, helping ensure students have the tools they need to succeed.
“Support to Soar is a perfect example of what can happen when a community comes together to invest in its future,” said Superintendent Marcus Chambers. “We’re grateful to our Chamber partners for standing with our schools and helping meet the needs of our students.”
The Okaloosa County School District and participating Chambers of Commerce invite community members to join the effort. Donors can choose a specific school or classroom to support and will receive recognition for their contribution.
