Kids-Lift Mobilizes Franchise Owners for Back-to-School Support
As summer winds down and students prepare to return to school, the franchise owners of Premium Service Brands (PSB) are stepping up to support their communities in meaningful ways. Through their partnership with Kids-Lift, a charitable foundation dedicated to uplifting educational environments, these franchisees are launching several back-to-school initiatives aimed at enhancing classroom experiences and supporting families and educators.
A Commitment to Community
The back-to-school season is more than just an exchange of school supplies; it represents a vital opportunity for education professionals and community members to collaborate in ensuring that students have welcoming and resource-rich learning environments. According to Vivi Nellen, Executive Director of Kids-Lift, the goal is to foster spaces that inspire confidence and creativity in students and support teachers who dedicate themselves to their work daily.
With strong ties to their local communities, franchise owners are making an impact by engaging in a range of activities, from school beautification projects to supplying essential items for students in need. Each initiative reflects the franchisees' commitment to creating stronger communities through active participation.
Noteworthy Initiatives Across the Country
Across the United States, the impact of Kids-Lift can be seen in various forms:
- - Little Rock, Arkansas: Boris Okong, owner of 360° Painting, took the initiative to revive school spaces by repainting structures, thereby enhancing the learning atmosphere.
- - Kansas City, Missouri: Mark and Shelley McConnell, also owners of 360° Painting, engaged in a similar project that focused on cleansing and beautifying classrooms prior to the arrival of students.
- - Palm Beach County, Florida: Jon and Sunny Thayer, from Window Gang, teamed up with the Education Foundation to prepare backpacks for over 36,000 students attending Title I schools, ensuring children have the materials they need from day one.
- - North Georgia: Amber and George Thomas of House Doctors participated in a Back-to-School Bash, contributing over 900 pairs of earbuds to aid students in tech-enabled learning environments.
These initiatives highlight the creativity and dedication of franchise owners across the PSB network in the heart of their respective communities. They engage in continuous projects that aim to give back while also making a significant difference in the lives of students and educators alike.
Collaboration and Support
The success of Kids-Lift initiatives this year is also due in part to contributions from national partners, including Sherwin-Williams, which generously donated paint required for various school improvement projects. Additionally, The Print Authority assisted with promotional materials such as event T-shirts and signage to support franchisees and volunteers participating in these charitable efforts.
Paul Flick, the Founder and CEO of Premium Service Brands, emphasizes that the franchise owners are not only business operators but also active community members and role models who are deeply invested in the success of local students. By uniting multiple PSB brands around a common goal of enhancing educational opportunities, Kids-Lift serves as a platform for meaningful change.
Looking Ahead
As the school year unfolds, Kids-Lift plans to maintain its momentum and commitment to educational initiatives, family assistance, and community enrichment throughout the year. The various programs led by franchise owners further reflect the core mission of Premium Service Brands: to support entrepreneurs in achieving their dreams while positively impacting the communities they serve.
