Wicomico Schools, Northwestern Elementary Seek Community Support For Northwestern HVAC Project

Northwestern Elementary School and Wicomico County Public Schools continue to seek community support for the Northwestern Elementary HVAC project in an effort to secure Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB) Funds to help fund the project.

For several years now, the school system’s Capital Improvement Program has included a Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systemic renovation project at Northwestern Elementary which includes plumbing, electrical and lighting upgrades. In an effort to bring that project forward, we are applying for QZAB funds from the State of Maryland. To apply for these funds, the school system must have a 10% match – approximately $12,000 - in private sector contributions.

“We are asking for your help by making a pledge to this important project which will benefit not only the students and staff of Northwestern Elementary, but the surrounding community,” said Principal Kirby Bryson of Northwestern Elementary, a Maryland Blue Ribbon School.

Letters were mailed to potential supporters, with a QZAB Support Form to fill out and return. The form is also posted below.

“Your donation will be publicly acknowledged with a special sign at the school site during construction as well as noted on our website. We are hopeful that your business will benefit from the community goodwill generated by your thoughtful donation to this project,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Fredericksen said.
