Adopt-A-Class In 1997, Chico Performances started a program at Chico State called Adopt-A-Class, which connects individuals, business and schoolchildren together with the arts and education. Local businesses, individuals, and service groups adopt school classes so they may attend Field Trip performances at Laxson Auditorium at no cost to the teachers, school, district or students. Last year, more than 66 classrooms enjoyed music, dance, theater and lecture at no cost, thanks to the sponsorship of 26 businesses and individuals in the North Valley. The goal this year is to increase the number of students who attend a field trip at no cost by 25 percent. To do this at least 20 new adopters are needed to sponsor Field Trips for local school children. A minimum donation of $250 will allow one class to attend one field trip at no cost. This minimal amount could make a maximum influence on a child's life. More information on the Adopt-A-Class program is available at www.chicoperformances.com.
