leaders from Station Casinos hosted a check presentation ceremony at Whitney Elementary School to benefit the Public Education Foundation. The company announced a $120,000 donation for its 22-year-long “Smart Start” education program which benefits 11 partner schools throughout Clark County.
Additionally, Station Casinos leaders distributed gift bags filled with school supplies to all students at Whitney Elementary School and brought sweet treats and a custom three-tiered cake for teachers and staff from the Red Rock Bake Shop.
“We are proud to be able to continue our long-standing partnership with the Public Education Foundation and provide our local schools with the supplies they need,” said Bob Finch, COO of Station Casinos. “Our properties do an amazing job contributing to our partner schools year after year, providing support that the students, teachers and staff need to ensure they have the best school year possible.”
Leading up to the start of the school year, team members from all of Station Casinos’ properties delivered thousands of back-to-school items including backpacks, notebooks, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, Kleenex, hand sanitizer and much more.
Teachers from Laura Dearing Elementary School were treated to a beautiful luncheon hosted by the team at Boulder Station.
“Station Casinos has been one of our premier partners over the years, and it’s a pleasure to continue to work with them to help our schools,” said Kristen Searer, President of the Public Education Foundation. “Providing students, teachers and staff the support they need is our main objective and donations like the one we received today will help further the quality of education in our local communities.”
Since 2000, Station Casinos has been proud of its Smart Start school partnership initiative with the Clark County School District (CCSD) administered by the Public Education Foundation to support high-need elementary schools with financial and volunteer support to help improve education and provide classroom resources.
Station Casinos’ properties are paired up with an elementary school and offer year-round support, such as volunteering in classrooms, mentoring students, hosting special events and donating needed resources such as backpacks and school supplies for the students.
Schools may also utilize funding to purchase technology supplies, books and periodicals, instructional supplies, and student incentives.
