An estimated 350 ServiceMaster employees will complete
simultaneous beautification projects at four Shelby County School
campuses, including landscaping, painting, and other cleanup
efforts as part of our overall commitment of caring about the
communities where we live and work.
“Spring Clean ’19 will be a day for us to not only celebrate our
city’s rich past, but also focus on creating cleaner, safer and
healthier spaces,” said Nik Varty ServiceMaster CEO. “I’m so proud
of our employees that are contributing to this important day. Our
youth deserve environments they can enjoy and those that foster
greater learning, and it is important for local companies to find
ways to better serve, care and deliver them.”
In partnership with Shelby County Schools, Clean Memphis and APS
Facility Maintenance, the projects were selected to help enhance
the overall learning environment for students. The campuses are Ida
B. Wells Academy, Kirby High School, Booker T. Washington High
School and Riverview Middle School.
“By focusing on these needed beautification projects, we want
students coming to school to feel a greater sense of pride, to stay
positive and eager, and to excel as students so they can grow into
the future leaders of our great community,” said Velvet Graham,
senior director of Community Relations and Culture &
Inclusion.
“We’re so thankful to ServiceMaster and the hundreds of
employees who will be supporting our schools through their Spring
Clean Project. It’s always inspiring to see businesses invest in
the local community, and we’re excited about the impact these
improvements will have on our students, teachers and families.
We’re proud to be involved in this effort to make our city better,”
said Dr. John Barker, SCS Chief of Staff.
