The Buccini/Pollin Group and affiliates ResideBPG, BPG|SPORTS held a drive to collect the much-needed items.
WILMINGTON, DE–Wilmington-based developer, The Buccini/Pollin Group, Inc.(BPG), along with ResideBPG, BPG|SPORTS, surprised teachers, faculty and staff of Christina School District with 13 boxes of donated school supplies on November 13th, 2018. The supplies were generously donated by residents of ResideBPG communities, BPG Associates and associates that work within the Brandywine Building along with the BPG|SPORTS team.
The supplies were donated to Stubbs Elementary School and Elbert-Palmer Elementary School. Both schools serve children from kindergarten to 5th grade. BPG held a month-long drive to collect much-needed items including art supplies, uniforms, games for indoor recess days and teacher supplies.
Claire Nester, Residential Marketing Specialist, coordinated the drive. “BPG takes pride in supporting our neighbors within the community. We teamed up with the Christina School District to identify the needs within the local schools and then hand-delivered the items during a special Christina Surprise Squad visit, complete with a parade of balloons. It was incredibly touching to see the reactions of the students and teachers first-hand. They were very gracious and appreciative of the donations.”
“We are so grateful for BPG’s kind support of Christina schools,” said Richard L. Gregg, Superintendent of the Christina School District. “Our students and staff were truly touched by BPG’s surprise visit to their schools and by the generosity shown by everyone in the BPG community who so kindly donated items to help our young learners reach their highest potential this year.”
The idea for Christina Surprise Squads stemmed from surprising the school district’s employees of the year with a visit from the superintendent with balloons, certificates and a personal invitation to a special Employee Recognition Awards Ceremony, all caught on video. The district plans to use the Surprise Squad theme for upcoming awards, employee recognition and other exciting announcements for students and staff around the district.
“This is exactly what I had hoped for when I thought of the idea for starting a Christina Surprise Squad,” said Taylor Green, Public Information Officer and Manager of Communications for the Christina School District. “The reaction from students and staff was priceless!”
