Lyondell recently donated $4,500 to Markham Elementary School in Markham, Texas, for the purchase of computers for the school’s Learning Resource Center.
“Supporting education and schools near our operations is important to Lyondell,” said David Rogers, a supervisor for Lyondell’s Equistar Pipeline. “We’ve worked closely with the schools in the Markham area in the past and saw Markham’s need as an opportunity to enhance the learning experience of our local youths.”
Markham is using the money to purchase six laptop computers. Students are looking forward to using the new computers, which will allow them to use software that older machines couldn’t operate.
“Our PTO and school board are very good at getting us what we need at the school,” said Franco. “However, it always helps to have companies such as Lyondell looking out for our school and the needs of students.”
