Hopkins Printing Awarded Recognition Communities in Schools
COLUMBUS, OHIO (December 3, 2004) – Hopkins Printing, a Columbus-based commercial printing firm, was presented with an award by representatives from Communities in Schools on Thursday, October 28. The award was to thank the company for its dedicated support to Communities in Schools and in particular, Cassady Elementary School.
Hopkins Printing became a community partner for Cassady Elementary School. They help by providing paper for art classes, after-school programs and extra copying that needs done at the school.
€œWe recognize that children are our future and we are proud to help those right here in our neighborhood,€ said Jim Hopkins, president and CEO of Hopkins Printing. €œBecause Cassady is an alternative school focusing on math and science, two very important areas of study for our industry, we are especially excited to contribute anything we can.€
The school and students have not been shy to show their gratitude. Students sent Hopkins a €˜thank-you€™ book for all of their help.
€œThe consistent support of Hopkins Printing at Cassady Elementary shows a true commitment to the academic success of the students. Hopkins exemplifies the community-school relationship that Communities in Schools seeks to foster,€ says Sara Neikirk, Communities in Schools Executive Director.
