About Schoola
Schoola was founded by parent, teacher, and former school principal, Stacey Boyd. She created the company in 2013 to raise much-needed funds for schools. The money made by Schoola helps kids to paint, draw and play sports and music. The money goes towards much-needed resources such as art supplies and musical instruments.
It all began with a handful of schools organizing clothing drives. Those clothes were then sold on the website at cut-down prices. All of the proceeds went to schools. Since its inception, Schoola has funded an orchestra, a school playground, and many other initiatives. The company partners with more than 22,000 schools, some of which have raised more than $50,000 each.
