“Since the world stopped, teachers have faced unimaginable challenges and have developed creative ways to quickly adapt, teach and interact with students virtually,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers at Patch . “While we continue to progress gradually towards familiar times, we must not forget to thank the influential mentors of 2020 whose ambitious changes, many of which were made out of pocket, have helped the students through an unusual year.

Teachers and classrooms in need will be selected through AdoptAClassroom.org after the campaign.

Depending on the campaign:

“More than ever, teachers deserve our thanks, doing an incredible job every day, from finding new ways to better engage students online, to creating new lesson plans that get kids excited about math and science.
