TCC donated to Redkey Elementary

Business roundup

The Cellular Connection announced Monday that it donated appreciation boxes to more than 500 schools in the United States.

Redkey Elementary School was among those that received the boxes as part of the company’s Teachers Rock Supply Giveaway. Participating stores partnered with schools to donate supply packs valued at more than $350.

“Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have had to balance a whole new list of concerns,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room, parent company of TCC, in a press release. “About three-fourths of the 100 largest school districts are on complete remote learning, and a little over a quarter of all districts began the year with a hybrid approach. Despite the challenges and changes they are facing, our teachers continue to put forth their best effort to positively influence our youth. It is more important than ever that we show our deep appreciation for their efforts.”
