PopStroke Tuscaloosa Makes History with New Adopt-A-School Partnership
July 1, 2025
The Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama and its Adopt-A-School program are proud to announce a new, groundbreaking partnership between Tuscaloosa Magnet Schools-Elementary (TMSE) and PopStroke Tuscaloosa—marking the first and only PopStroke location nationwide to participate in Adopt-A-School or any similar education-based partnership program.
This milestone collaboration will enhance the student experience while also supporting the well-being of teachers and staff. Through this partnership, PopStroke will sponsor duty-free lunches for teachers, offer reading incentives for students, and help recognize the Teacher and Student of the Month based on the school’s Core Values: respect, critical thinking, principled, caring, and integrity.
“We’re proud to announce a new partnership between TMSE and PopStroke, aimed at enhancing student engagement and community involvement,” said TMSE Principal Preeti Nichani. “This collaboration will open doors to unique educational, wellness, and enrichment opportunities for all members of our school community.”
PopStroke is also exploring the opportunity to bring the fundamentals of golf into the classroom through the school’s Partnership Program. The potential six-week program would include weekly 40-minute sessions introducing students to the game and the values it teaches—patience, discipline, and focus.
“We are incredibly thankful to have met the leaders of TMSE and The Chamber,” said PopStroke Tuscaloosa General Manager Nathanael Boler. “It’s truly an honor to be introduced to this amazing partnership opportunity through such a meaningful local program. At PopStroke Tuscaloosa, we’re excited to become more involved in inspiring, encouraging, and entertaining the youth in our community. We’re equally committed to supporting the dedicated teachers and staff at TMSE in any way we can. We look forward to all that we can accomplish together through this partnership!”
PopStroke joins current adopters Bailey’s Tiger Rock Martial Arts and BloGo Salon + MedSpa in meeting TMSE’s needs through Adopt-A-School, a long-standing Chamber initiative connecting local businesses with public schools to enhance education, support teachers, and enrich student life.
