"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

When visitors are expected at Ponderosa Elementary, it’s tradition to send a student to meet them at the door, and every Friday the children clamor for the chance to greet the guests who arrive wearing yellow polo shirts. They are volunteers from Kampgrounds of America, the school’s business partner through Partners in Education.

For an hour, the volunteers visit classrooms, work with students to perfect basic skills and encourage teachers.

It’s been a tradition for three years, and during Tuesday’s second annual Partners in Education Salute Luncheon, KOA was recognized, along with 11 other businesses and organizations for their commitment to public education in Billings.
