Suburban Propane Partners of Whippany partnered with Crayons to Classrooms to support the organization’s “Classroom Solutions” program, which provides local teachers with educational materials that add depth and value to their lesson plans and classroom displays.
Employees from Suburban Propane’s Dayton, Ohio, customer service center assisted with the creation of materials to be distributed to 3,000 teachers from 135 schools and child care centers in the greater Dayton region, as part of the company’s SuburbanCares community-giving platform. In addition to the volunteering opportunity, Suburban Propane provided funding to support Crayons to Classrooms’ mission to help area teachers in their classrooms.
“Suburban Propane is honored to assist Crayons to Classrooms in its mission to provide tools and resources to teachers and classrooms throughout the greater Dayton area,” Nandini Sankara, spokesperson, Suburban Propane, said. “As a 95-year-old company with a footprint across 42 states, we understand the importance of assisting our local communities, and value organizations like Crayons to Classrooms that provide necessary support to local educators so that they can best serve their students.”
“We deeply appreciate the support from Suburban Propane, which will provide local students with necessary tools for success in the classroom,” Carlye Rausch, program manager at Crayons to Classrooms, said. “Suburban Propane volunteers created products for our Classroom Solutions program, which allow us to offer teachers and students practical tools and activities that enhance the teaching and learning experience. The Classroom Solutions program would not exist without community volunteers such as Suburban Propane.”
