Program will provide donations for schools and cost-effective lawn services to homeowners

Austin, Texas, April 2, 2009 - Elements Group, the leader in local lawn, landscape design and comprehensive property management services, is pleased to announce its School Partners Program. The program is designed to benefit participating school districts and homeowners within those districts, by providing a means for schools to raise money while families save money on lawn and landscape services. Elements Group will launch the School Partners Program within the Eanes Independent School District through a program that funds the Eanes Education Foundations endowment.

The School Partners Program is simple in design and benefits both the schools and property owners. When a family in a participating school district signs up for basic lawn maintenance service through the School Partners Program, a school district organization receives a 5% rebate on basic lawn maintenance services spent with Elements Group. The program also includes all landscape design projects; participating districts will receive 5% of the final design cost. With respect to the Eanes Independent School District, the Eanes Education Foundation will receive these funds for the benefit of its endowment which, in turn, benefits EISD. In addition, all families that participate in the School Partners Program receive a $200 gift certificate for various Elements services.

According to Elements Group owner John Kinnaird, the program is beneficial on many different levels. With the current economic situation, we feel that the School Partners Program couldnt come at a better time. School districts will receive much needed money to spend on various activities for their students, while the property owners receive the best lawn and landscape services in Austin at an economical price. Kinnaird believes the program could potentially generate tens of thousands of dollars for each participating school district.

Eanes Independent School District is the first school district to become a program partner and Paul Trahan, president of the Eanes Education Foundation, is looking forward to partnering with Elements. Were excited at the opportunities the School Partners Program presents, he says. The program is part of the foundations broader initiative to secure sustained funding for its endowment. This will put us in a stronger position to make sure that every student in this district has the resources available to achieve excellence in reaching his or her full potential. We are proud to be associated with Elements a solid corporate citizen with a reputation for providing quality service at competitive rates. We look forward to a long relationship with them.

As part of this School Partners Program, Elements Group also wants to help beautify school campuses throughout the Austin area in 2009. To achieve this goal, all design time will be pro bono and campuses will also receive discounted landscaping installation services. Elements Group offers other landscape services to school campuses such as Outdoor Classrooms and Alumni Memorials.

Finally, Elements Group will also provide partnering districts with internship opportunities for students. Gregg Sanders, general manager of Elements Group says We look forward to working with and helping teach students how landscape architects change the environment we live in. I think theyll be particularly interested in our Landscape Design Green Program.

Its Springtime and with the School Partners Program Elements Group wants to make it a great one for schools and homeowners in the Austin area. For more information about the program or Elements Group, please contact 512-306-0505 or info@elementscompanies.com.
