40 Brother Machines Donated To Manville School

MANVILLE, NJ — More than 40 Brother machines were donated and installed at Weston Elementary School in Manville, including printers, scanners, P-touch labelers and a ScanNCut crafting machine.

The donation is part of Brother International Corporation's "Corporate Social Responsibility" program to support low-income schools near its U.S. locations including its Bridgewater location on Crossing Boulevard.

Weston Elementary also received two years' worth of refill supplies and Brother's commitment to conduct some interactive activities at the school.

One of those activites was held recently at the school, where more than 20 Brother associates partnered with students to create Valentine's Day cards and crafts. Each classroom also created a string of decorative hearts with each student's name attached to their favorite heart design using a P-touch labeler. Brother-branded winter hats were also distributed to every student and faculty member.

"We are so grateful to Brother and its employees for taking the time to come out to our school and make this fun day possible for our students," stated Melissa Keiser, Weston Elementary School principal. "The kids really enjoyed themselves and both students and faculty will benefit tremendously from the new equipment that was donated."
