Companies Help Out Schools

by: Andrew Pimentel and Taylor Guillemette

Recently we read an article about a lot of companies helping out schools with their funding. We think this is a great way for outside businesses to help get more supplies for schools. Exxon Mobil launched $163 million in funding commitments. It will help train the math and science teachers; also it will give more high school students a chance to enroll in college level courses.

We think more and more students will be able to have the chance to enroll in these courses for a lesser cost. Dyson, the vacuum company, is actually going to make 20 clubs in middle schools in Chicago for after schools engineering programs. All these companies will make a major impact in all these schools that are being provided with the funding. For more information click here

  3. More companies should do this. A lot of schools are having to charge their students for basic amenities due to money problems. Company donations would be a great help.
