Riverton Teacher Wins Recognition, Supplies
Jane Jameson, a second and third grade English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher at Riverton Elementary School in Portland, won recognition as an outstanding teacher and $1,400 in classroom supplies through OfficeMax’s “A Day Made Better” program.
Employees from OfficeMax’s Portland distribution facility surprised Jameson by delivering a digital camera, printer, art supplies and other gifts to her classroom on October 2.
Jameson was one of about 1,000 teachers throughout the country recognized through the program, which is a partnership between the office supply store and the nonprofit group, Adopt-A-Classroom.
“A Day Made Better” recognizes that teachers typically spend hundreds of dollars of their own money on classroom supplies each year. OfficeMax donated more than $1 million to schools such as Riverton through the program.
