The HUSD #3 , in partnership with Heart of America, Cal Poly students, Next Power and Solv, have completed a third solar installation project which was a massive success! This project was only possible through the combined efforts of an amazing team.
A huge thank you to CalPoly, Heart of America, Next Power, and Solv, alongside the vital local leadership including Indian Education Director, Bernice Gover and HUSD #3 Liaison Heather Manygoats; as well as, the many great people at HUSD #3 that made this project happen!
These partnerships do more than just complete projects—they truly strengthen the fabric of our community.
By bringing such a large, dedicated group of volunteers to Holbrook, we were thrilled to provide a much-needed economic boost to our beloved local businesses:
Our volunteers rested up at a local hotel- over 50 volunteers!
Enjoyed fantastic meals at local restaurants!
Frequented many other business in their days spent in Holbrook!
They participated in the Holbrook Junior High School CAFE event on Tuesday night!
They even took time to explore the breathtaking Petrified Forest and Painted Desert!
By visiting our town and supporting the local businesses who make Holbrook thrive, these amazing volunteers invested directly in our community's future and most importantly installed solar on 15 Roadrunner family homes!
Thank you to everyone who made this happen.
Together, we are Energizing our Roadrunners!
