A HUGE thank you to Hilton Garden Inn Mt. Juliet for showing up for our Bulldogs in such a generous way! ❤🐾

They donated a TON of school and everyday living essentials for our students and families - duffle bags, blankets, markers, binders, rulers, toothbrushes and hairbrushes, shampoo, body wash, and so much more!

Donations like these help us make sure our students have what they need both inside the classroom and beyond it. We are so grateful for community partners who continue to invest in and care for our Bulldog families.

Thank you, Hilton Garden Inn Mt. Juliet, for being such an amazing Bulldog Backer! 🐾❤

Some gifts make an immediate difference - and this is one of them. ❤️🐾

A HUGE thank you to our incredible Bulldog Backer, Mid-Tenn Pressure Washing for donating a $9,000 gift in kind service to West Elementary PTO! 🙌

Over the years, our school has accumulated a lot of wear and tear, and they generously stepped in to give our campus a fresh new look. From the roof edging all the way down to the sidewalks, they professionally pressure washed the entire exterior of our building. 💦🧼

✨ The transformation is amazing, and our Bulldogs will return to a campus that looks cleaner, brighter, and ready for an incredible school year! 🎉

🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹

Donations like this are absolutely vital to our school community. By having generous partners donate their services, we’re able to direct our cash donations toward other important priorities that directly impact our students and staff - like school security, technology, educational resources, and creating fun, memorable experiences throughout the year.

Mid Tenn Pressure Washing, thank you for investing in our students, our staff, and our school. Your generosity and community spirit make a lasting impact, and we are so grateful to have you as part of the Bulldog family! ❤️🖤
