Over February school vacation week, a group of employees (along with some family members) helped renovate a classroom at the Rafael Hernández School to create a safe, usable space for students to deregulate and meet with school counselors and mental health professionals. Loomis Sayles is proud to support local schools which provide students with the key resources they need to succeed. We’d also like to give a special shoutout to the Children’s Wellness Initiative at Franciscan Children’s for connecting us with the Hernández School in service of their broader mission to provide students, parents and schools with increased access to mental health services. #LifeAtLoomisSayles #Volunteering #CSR #CommunityEngagement
