Matrix Extends Partnership with EVES & United Way
Since 2020, in partnership with the United Way and Girard School District, Matrix Tool, Inc. has been a corporate partner of Elk Valley Elementary, a community School (EVES). United Way Community Schools aim to “remove nonacademic barriers to learning so ALL children achieve and succeed, transforming their futures.” To help remove these learning barriers, Corporate Partners are vital to the work of community schools because they provide support to help address specific needs of the school through financial contributions, volunteer engagement efforts, student development and/or in-kind resources.
We have been grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community and help EVES strategically remove barriers that inhibit academic success and encourage social flourishment among all of the students. As an “engineering” company, Matrix has always viewed education as a powerful force –it stimulates growth, creates knowledge, builds confidence and breaks down barriers to opportunity. We are very excited to announce that we have extended our partnership with EVES and the United Way for another 3 years!
EVES Highlight:
In September 2022, it was announced that EVES was 1 of 10 schools recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School. This award is based on each school’s overall academic performance, or the progress made to close the achievement gap among students. Great job students and staff for this outstanding acknowledgement!
