ANSYS, a global leader in engineering simulation, and the Washington County Community Foundation (WCCF) Mother’s Fund, supporting disadvantaged women and children in Washington County, have partnered to ensure that every student at Ringgold Elementary School South is equipped with the basic, critical supplies they need for success.
The Adopt-A-School Program brings together corporations, community organizations and individuals to provide a homework kit and year-round school supplies to students in need at no cost.
As a result of this local support, Ringgold Elementary School South was accepted as a full partner school of The Education Partnership. Every eligible classroom teacher will receive $1,200 worth of basic supplies for the school -- an estimated total value of $36,000. Additionally, each student will receive a homework kit distributed at an in-school assembly by the employees of ANSYS and members of the WCCF.
“The Community Foundation’s Women of Philanthropy Giving Circle includes many former teachers who understand that in order to learn, students need the proper tools. We are delighted to provide essential supplies to the students of Ringgold Elementary South through The Education Partnership’s Adopt-A-School program,” said Betsie Trew, President & CEO, Washington County Community Foundation.
"ANSYS is proud to collaborate with The Education Partnership and the WCCF to benefit the Adopt-A-School program,” said Maria Shields, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We are thrilled to provide support and supplies to students and teachers in our community.”
