The Saskatoon Blades “Adopt-A-School” program is a partnership between local businesses, the Saskatoon Public and Catholic School Boards and the Saskatoon Blades Hockey Club aimed at rewarding local students for their hard work and dedication to their school and their community.

School Adoption

• Businesses adopt a specific school or schools through a program designed to reach all schools in both the public and catholic school boards.
• The Saskatoon Blades leverage its existing positive relationship with schools to ensure that the “Adopt-A-School” program is successful.
• The opportunity exists for local businesses, small, medium or large, to connect with students on a unique interactive level. Regular communication is made with the schools by our coordinators and the emphasis is placed on the sponsor of the adopted school.
• Schools will focus on using the tickets for rewarding students who have had success, shown improvement in academics or have had overall progress in school.
