Employees at Abrazo Central Campus donated school supplies to Maryland School, helping K-8 students start the academic year with essential classroom materials.
The annual school supply drive is a longstanding initiative organized by Abrazo Central employees and is intended to support students and strengthen the hospital’s relationship with the school community, according to a press release.
Maryland School is one of the hospital’s community partners, and employees participate in the back-to-school drive each year.
“Every notebook, pencil and classroom supply represents encouragement, opportunity and support for a student,” said LaQuelle Huff, an Abrazo Central Campus employee who helped lead the effort and delivered the supplies to students in August. “Giving back is part of who we are, and this initiative reflects the compassion and commitment our employees bring to the community every day,” she said.
Principal Nick Gupton expressed appreciation for the continued support provided by Abrazo Central Campus.
“These donations create opportunities for learning and development,” Mr. Gupton said. “We are grateful for Abrazo Central’s partnership and ongoing investment in our students’ success, and our kids and teachers look forward to this drop-off day each year.”
Abrazo Central employees volunteer to organize the annual school supply drive, collect donations and deliver the supplies to students and school staff.
“Supporting students is one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Gregory Pearson, CEO of Abrazo Central Campus. “When local students have the resources they need to succeed, our entire community benefits. We are proud to continue our partnership with Maryland School and help empower the next generation of learners and leaders,” he said.
