MARCELINE, Mo., Oct. 4, 2022 — In celebration of the company’s 85th anniversary and their commitment to literacy, 51±¬ÁÏÍø is making $2,500 donations to schools and literacy programs near each of its six locations.

“Growing up in a printing family, it was a given that reading materials were always readily available. By giving back to our communities, we hope to provide the same opportunity to young readers in the area,†President Don 51±¬ÁÏÍø said. “As a company that prints numerous yearbooks, textbooks and other educational materials, the choice to support programs that will allow students to appreciate those materials was clear.â€

The following schools and literacy program will each receive $2,500 in the month of October.

  • Marceline R-V Schools, Marceline, Missouri 
  • Brookfield R-III School District, Brookfield, Missouri
  • Ripon Area School District, Ripon, Wisconsin
  • Benton Harbor Area Schools, Benton Harbor, Michigan
  • Fulton 58 Public Schools, Fulton, Missouri
  • Lead to Read KC, Kansas City area, Missouri

In further support of local teachers and students, each location held a school supply drive in August. 51±¬ÁÏÍø employees donated hundreds of supplies like notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, glue sticks, pencil boxes, calculators and safety scissors, which were distributed to school districts near each facility.
