Pedernales Electric Cooperative is committed to helping students and teachers shine this school year. PEC employees donated more than 2,000 school supplies this month to benefit elementary schools across the Cooperative’s service territory.
“PEC cares about our communities and our classrooms, so it’s our pleasure to help ensure that students and teachers have the tools they need to start the school year off right,” said Mikayla Herron, PEC community outreach specialist. “We’re grateful to our employees for their generous contributions and look forward to delivering supplies.”
Donated supplies will benefit the following schools in PEC’s service territory:
• Bertram Elementary School (Burnet CISD)
• Knowles Elementary School (Leander ISD)
• LBJ Elementary School (Johnson City ISD)
• Mountain Valley Elementary School (Comal ISD)
• Uhland Elementary School (Hays CISD) “Students, teachers, and staff were overwhelmed with gratitude for the supplies donated by PEC,” said LBJ Elementary Counselor Lyndsay Guthrie. “What a blessing it is to be a part of such a strong and supportive community!”
