Terminix Celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week
Terminix Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TMX), a leading provider of essential termite and pest control services to residential and commercial customers, is celebrating teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Terminix is no stranger to education. In February this year, the pest control company re-launched its Harry’s Big Adventure program, a K-6 educational website and curriculum dedicated entirely to teaching elementary students about the exciting world of bugs. A key component of the program includes educating children through virtual classroom presentations.
“Teachers have been some of America’s greatest heroes over the past year,” said Valerie Middleton, senior director of Communications for Terminix. “As a company, we wanted to create a fun resource for these hard-working professionals who have continued to adapt and educate our nation’s youth, even in the midst of the ever-changing teaching environment brought on by the pandemic.”
Terminix is striving to serve the neighborhoods and communities where its teammates live and work by educating students, teachers and parents about insects. The company hopes the program will spread the message that bugs aren’t inherently bad—they only become pests when they are inside homes and businesses. The program also offers discounts for pest control services for teachers and parents of students.
“It’s been a great pleasure to talk to kids about insects and their biology,” said Josh Coble, region director for Terminix. Coble has been presenting virtually to young students across the country via the Harry’s Big Adventure program. “We’re so grateful for this opportunity to serve our communities by sharing our knowledge about termites, ants, cockroaches, and many other insects with these wonderful students. They’ve been active, engaged and inquisitive through each presentation—and the teachers have really appreciated having a guest speaker to add some excitement to the virtual days.”
To extend their appreciation for teachers, Terminix is also announcing a partnership with WeAreTeachers.com. As part of the partnership, Terminix is currently sponsoring the Insect Explorers Classroom Giveaway. Via the promotion, ten lucky teachers will each win a
