At Sheehy Subaru of Springfield, supporting the community means recognizing the individuals who make a difference every day. During Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, the dealership had the opportunity to celebrate a group whose dedication, compassion, and hard work help shape the future of our communities: local teachers and school staff.
As part of this effort, the Sheehy Subaru of Springfield team, led by Russ Zakeri, partnered with Garfield Elementary School to provide a special catered lunch for faculty and staff, offering a small gesture of appreciation for the tremendous impact educators have throughout the year.
Celebrating Those Who Make a Difference
Teachers and school staff play an essential role in supporting students both inside and outside the classroom. Their commitment extends far beyond lesson plans and daily responsibilities, helping create environments where students can learn, grow, and succeed.
To recognize that dedication, the Sheehy Subaru of Springfield team treated Garfield Elementary educators and staff members to a catered Jersey Mike’s lunch during Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week. The event provided an opportunity for the school community to take a well-deserved break and enjoy a meal together while being celebrated for their contributions.
A Meaningful Expression of Gratitude
The luncheon was warmly received by the Garfield Elementary team and served as a reminder of the positive impact community partnerships can have.
Kerry Peerman, representing Garfield Elementary School, shared heartfelt thanks on behalf of the school community, noting that the lunch helped staff members feel “truly appreciated and celebrated.” Her message highlighted how meaningful the support was during a week dedicated to recognizing the efforts of educators and school personnel.
While the lunch itself was a simple gesture, the appreciation behind it reflected the community’s gratitude for the countless ways teachers and staff invest in students every day.
Strengthening Community Connections
Events like this exemplify the mission behind Sheehy Cares and the dealership’s commitment to supporting the communities it serves. By partnering with local schools and organizations, Sheehy Subaru of Springfield continues to build meaningful relationships and create opportunities to give back in impactful ways.
