Abbey Design Center Celebrates 30 Years & Thanks Academic Heroes

Do you know an Academic Hero? You can show your thanks and help your favorite teacher win a gorgeous flooring makeover here: www.abbeysacademicheroes.com. Abbey Design Center is celebrating their 30th year in business and wants to celebrate their success with some of the academic heroes in our community. The home remodeling company wants to give back to the best and brightest teachers by giving them brand new flooring for a room in their home. From carpet to hardwood, three teachers will win flooring of their choice for any room in their home. Loudoun County parents and students are encouraged to log on and show their appreciation to our local leaders of education. Winners will be chosen on Teacher Appreciation Day, Tuesday, May 8th, so we encourage the community to get their nominations in soon.

Abbey Design Center is a remodeling company with expertise in kitchen, bath, basement, flooring, and full-home remodeling. What makes Abbey Design Center different is the respect they give to you and your home, as well as the love and support they show for their community. For almost two decades Abbey Design Center has recognized top students with flooring for their rooms and this year they want to recognize not just the students, but teachers as well.

“My father was a high school principal for over 30 years,” says Shiva Etessam, the owner of Abbey Design Center. “He was very passionate about his work and loved watching students learn and realize their greatest potential. My aunts and uncles were teachers as well. I have many academic heroes within my own family. Sometimes we forget the day-to-day challenges teachers face. Our Academic Heroes program is just a small way for us to say thank you to everyone who dedicates their time to educate our children, our future depends on them.”

One teacher in each selective grade range (elementary, middle school, and high school) will be chosen to receive a “flooring makeover” for their home. The amount of nominations will determine the winning teachers, along with the reason that they have been nominated. Abbey's management team will be reading each nomination and selecting the top choice for each grade. This is an opportunity for everyone in the Loudoun County area to express our gratitude and celebrate education alongside Abbey Design Center. This is our chance to give thanks to the teachers who do excellent work and generate passion and excitement for the subject(s) they teach.
