School supplies for students at Satchel Paige Elementary from employees at WireCo WorldGroup

Back (pack) to school for wire employees

Employees from Wireco WorldGroup recently delivered 150 backpacks, full of school supplies, to students at a local elementary school. About four times a year, the company gets involved in a community service project. The school, Satchel Paige Elementary, is just a ten minute drive from WireCo’s head office in Prairie Village, Kansas. “It’s hard for me to express how grateful we are for this gift,” said Lazona Stovall, summer acceleration program principal at Paige Elementary this summer. “A small gesture like this can make all the difference for our students. It will make their entire school year better.”

“Being able to put those backpacks together for these students and seeing the joy on their faces when we delivered them was absolutely awesome,” said Wireco employee, Tana Drake. “These are truly a great group of kids and they are going to go on to do wonderful things with their lives.” Backpacks will also be distributed to students at Gladstone, Banneker and Success Academy at Knotts elementary schools.
