SLAUGHTER, La., August 22, 2024 /3BL/ - A team from Entergy’s River Bend Station rolled up their sleeves and got to work recently during the second annual Slaughter Elementary School Beautification Day.

Employees trimmed trees, painted parking lots, beautified buildings, installed new playground equipment and more, in an effort to give back to the community.

“Slaughter Elementary is grateful for the partnership with Entergy’s River Bend Station volunteer group. Their support provides a jumpstart to a strong beginning for a great school year for SES employees, students and families,” said Jenny Thornton, Slaughter Elementary School principal. “Entergy’s participation in this event shows our community members, teachers, support staff, students and families that they care about the future of our school.”

Community engagement and civic responsibility are fundamental to the culture of Entergy. With a steadfast dedication to giving back, employees’ volunteer efforts are making a tangible difference in the lives of those around them.

“We’re incredibly proud of our team’s volunteer efforts,” said Phil Hansett, River Bend Station site vice president. “Their dedication goes beyond providing customers with clean energy. They’re also committed to serving their communities and they demonstrate it time and again. They show up for our friends and neighbors in need.”

This was the second year Entergy team members have participated in the school's annual event.
