Employees from Wireco WorldGroup
recently delivered 150 backpacks, full
of school supplies, to students at a local
elementary school. About four times a
year, the company gets involved in a
community service project. The school,
Satchel Paige Elementary, is just a ten
minute drive from WireCo’s head office in
Prairie Village, Kansas.
“It’s hard for me to express how grateful
we are for this gift,” said Lazona Stovall,
summer acceleration program principal
at Paige Elementary this summer. “A
small gesture like this can make all the
difference for our students. It will make
their entire school year better.”
“Being able to put those backpacks
together for these students and seeing
the joy on their faces when we delivered
them was absolutely awesome,” said
Wireco employee, Tana Drake. “These are
truly a great group of kids and they are
going to go on to do wonderful things with
their lives.”
Backpacks will also be distributed to
students at Gladstone, Banneker and
Success Academy at Knotts elementary
schools.
