Today, we celebrate the dedication of the Hayward Unified School District in its work to maintain and preserve its valuable buildings and grounds—the all-important environments where its community’s children learn. Just in time for “Back to School,” Schafer Park Elementary School and Burbank Elementary School received new exterior paint. The new paint reinforces each school community’s pride and school spirit while its refreshed appearance demonstrates to its children, teachers, and staff that they are loved and valued. A simple paint job both supports the long-term lifecycle preservation of a school facility–which is itself a huge investment in the public trust–and delivers an additional immeasurable return on investment that lives in the hearts of the people who spend the most time in the environment–improving performance, feelings of belonging and overall happiness.#PositiveLastingImpact
