On Friday, August 29, 2008, Prezza Technologies volunteered its time to assist the Nathan Hale School of Roxbury, MA with a variety of projects to get the school ready for new school year.

The Nathan Hale School, which is celebrating its 100 year anniversary, is a small elementary located in the heart of Roxbury, a section of metro-Boston.  The school has an enrollment of approximately 170 students.

Prezza Technologies, who has a strong commitment to helping the local community, selected the project by working with Boston Cares, a service group that organizes team oriented volunteer opportunities throughout the Greater Boston area.  The team completed a variety of tasks, including the creation of a 100 year anniversary banner, the repainting of selected classrooms, repainting of the parking lot, landscaping, reorganization of classrooms, assisting teachers retrieve items from storage, and the unloading of new supplies for the school year.   Both Boston Cares and the faculty of the school were greatly appreciative of the effort.

Below is a picture of the group that participated in the project along with the 100 year anniversary banner.
