Air Products Foundation Awards $60,000 for Learning and Improvements at Three Livingston Parish Schools

LIVINGSTON, La. - Three Livingston Parish schools will benefit from a shared $60,000 donation from the Air Products Foundation, to promote science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) curriculum and to make improvements to their campuses through beautification and maintenance efforts.

French Settlement High School, Springfield Elementary and Doyle High School will each receive $20,000 for STEAM curriculum and facility improvements. 

Superintendent Jody Purvis thanked Air Products for its generous investment in Livingston Parish.

“We want to thank the company representatives for taking time to visit our campuses and learn how they can best help our students and staff.  This generous donation will go a long way in improving our facilities and providing greater opportunities for our next generation of business and industry leaders,” Purvis said.

Commercial Executive Director of Air Products’ Louisiana Clean Energy Complex Danna LeBlanc said the donation aligns with the company’s mission to promote careers in industry, while also improving the communities where its employees live and work.

“The earlier students have access to education about science and technology, the more likely they are to show interest in these fields as careers,” LeBlanc said. “We are proud to be a part of making Livingston Parish schools better for the communities they serve.”
