Jackson Systems Brings the Holidays to Students in Need
INDIANAPOLIS — Jackson Systems LLC partnered with local businesses to brighten the holidays for the students at William Penn Elementary School #49 in Indianapolis. William Penn Elementary School #49 is one of the least privileged of all Indianapolis Public Schools. Many of the schools’ students are homeless, and many others live in foster care or group homes. The school administrators and teachers recognize that they have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of their students. They care for their students greatly and strive to help them overcome their many barriers. Offering programs like free breakfast and lunch to all students, utility bill assistance, and raising funds for student uniforms, these gracious caregivers go above and beyond for these children they care deeply for.
Each year Jackson Systems provides two classrooms with winter gloves, books, school supplies, fruit, candy, and a classroom party. The kids get to choose their own book, which in some cases is the first book they have ever owned.
