Nineteen years ago, the Palm City Chamber of Commerce began the Adopt-A-Class program in Palm City. The idea was to help support the school reach their goals in standards, education and quality teachers. The Chamber also appreciated in order to continue and maintain this level of excellence; the schools would need some help. The Chamber has coordinated a partnership with the Kiwanis Club of Stuart Foundation, The Education Foundation of Martin County, Lively Orthodontics, The Morganti Group,Loving Chiropractic and Wellness Center, Highway Tire and Auto, Stuart Jet Center, Law Offices Of Berman & Berman, Coggin Acura* BMW* Honda* Mercedes-Benz of Fort Pierce, PNC Bank for the Adopt-A-Class Program.
