Spottlight on Education

Spottlight on Education

This month, schools across the country participated in American Education Week.

The week promotes collaboration between parents and educators. This tradition began in 1921 when members of the American Legion, the U.S. Office of Education, and the National Education Association joined efforts to improve literacy and physical education across the country. This month we celebrate the educators and administrators that are inspiring the next generation of engineers, artists, innovators, and creators.

From helping students to understand how their school is heated and cooled to developing educational materials for outreach activities, to reaching out to the community to facilitate success we are engaged in providing educational opportunities.

We’re here to help. We understand what institutions of learning need, and we deliver cost-effective, sustainable services. The specifics vary, but one course is always part of the program: ensuring a safe and healthy environment for students and staff to learn, live, and work.
