🎉 What an amazing way to start the school year! 🎉

Boardman Subaru surprised our teachers at Boardman Glenwood Junior High with a $15,000 donation and school supply kits! ❤️📚✏️

This marks the 10th year of an incredible partnership between Boardman Subaru and Glenwood Junior High. Through the years, Boardman alumnus and dealership owner Rob Fellman and his team have supported everything from our Natural Habitat Garden to science books, school supplies and now classroom resources for teachers!

This year's donation was made through the Subaru Loves Learning® initiative in partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org®.

A huge **THANK YOU** to Rob Fellman and the entire Boardman Subaru team for a decade of generosity and for continuing to support our students, teachers and Spartan Family! ❤️🤍
