Associates and advisors of Hanesbrands have initiated the Adopt-a-School Program with the students, teachers, and administrators of the Johnson County System. Since 1991 support has included volunteer time, shirt donations, awards, incentives, and direct funding of various projects and events. Hanesbrands personnel believe quality education for young people is of utmost importance and want to be involved in the schools on an annual basis.

For the 2008-2009 school year Hanesbrands is offering mini-grants as a means of creating new enthusiasm in teachers and students, and to provide innovative teaching methods that otherwise might not be available due to lack of funding. Teachers in all grade levels may apply for individual grants of $150 or schoolwide grants up to $350. A Hanesbrand Review Committee will look for projects that will enrich the current curriculum, demonstrate innovation, creativity, and excitement and/or provide a needed item with can be utilized by an entire school now and in the future.

Teachers at our school wrote and received $3,985.96 in mini grants from Hanes Brand for the 2008/2009 school year.  Teachers receiving this monetary support were able to buy approved instructional material for the classroom
