TL;DR
PuroClean is running a summer-long Adopt-a-Classroom Campaign to collect teacher supplies for local schools. The campaign aims to give back to teachers who often pay for classroom necessities with their own money.
Multiple surveys, including one by the U.S. Department of Education, show that 94 percent of teachers pay for classroom necessities with money from their own pockets. PuroClean’s Adopt-a-Classroom Campaign aims to give back to the people who give back to students year-round.
“It is hard to find the right words to convey how crucial teachers and educators are in our communities. They do some of the most important work in the world for our children,” Alex Pericchi, Vice President of Marketing and Online Learning, said. “It is the duty and mission of our entire network to showcase to teachers that we see their hard work and value them. We want to show them that PuroClean cares.”
Throughout the summer, PuroClean offices across the country are accepting teacher supplies such as:
Binders
Electric pencil sharpeners
Dry-erase boards
Markers
Scissors
Glue
Paper
Donations can be dropped off in designated boxes at participating PuroClean locations and will be given to the local school or teacher that the franchisee has chosen to recognize.
“Supporting educators isn’t just a one-time act of gratitude; it’s a direct investment in our children and the future leaders of our communities,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “The most important mission for PuroClean is to serve our communities and invest in the people who invested in us. Service and giving back are the values that this company was founded on. Everyone at PuroClean has a part to play.”
