On August 5, 2014, more than 100 Constellation
employees teamed up to help the Crossroads
School in Harbor East prepare classroom space for the school year.
During the school makeover event, five Constellation departments
competed to do the best job cleaning and painting classrooms, and a
panel of Crossroads students voted for the winning group. This year,
Constellation’s retail team took first place with their artistic design
of the “Crossroads
Promises” on an interior hallway.

Crossroads is a public charter school operated by the Living
Classrooms Foundation, which provides hands-on educational
opportunities and job training across Washington D.C., Virginia, and
Maryland.
“We appreciate Constellation’s support, both through their employees’
participation in our mentoring program and with large-scale volunteer
projects like the school makeover competition,” said James Bond,
president and CEO of the Living Classrooms Foundation. “This
beautification project will improve our learning environment, which will
positively impact both teachers and students.”
“Giving back to the communities we serve is a key part of
Constellation’s culture,” said Joseph Nigro, CEO of Constellation and
board member for the Living Classrooms Foundation. “We are proud of our
employees’ long-standing volunteerism and their contributions to support
the Crossroads School in providing students with improved classroom
space for the new school year.”
