Vivint Solar Helps Brighten Harmony School’s Future

Last October’s 1,000-year flood severely impacted the facilities of Harmony School, which created tremendous challenges for both faculty members and students alike. Waters from Gill’s Creek, near the school’s campus, flooded both the pre-K and kindergarten learning spaces necessitating the set up of portable classrooms. Sadly, the financial gap between the insurance claim payout and actual cost of repairs has put much-needed renovations out of reach for the small private school.

Now, brighter days of optimism and hope are ahead for Harmony School’s future by way of solar energy made possible, in part, through a timely community partnership forged with Vivint Solar, of West Columbia. “Vivint Solar will be among the supporters attending Harmony School’s 10th annual Oyster Roast and Silent Auction hosted on Saturday, November 12, at the Harmony School campus. Besides oysters, there will be homemade chili, artisan breads and live music, too,” says Jennifer Peterman, a Harmony School administrator. 

Vivint Solar Energy Consultant Joe McClintock states: “One of our key company core values is ‘Be Good, Do Good.’ We have our sleeves rolled up and are ready to help.” Vivint Solar is donating a portion of the revenue generated from residential solar installations back to the Harmony School to help get the school back on its feet. The public is invited to attend, and heartfelt support from the greater Midlands family is certainly welcome.

Cost: $35 per ticket (must be 21 and older to attend). Time: 6 to 11 p.m. Location: Harmony School, 3737 Covenant Rd., Columbia. For more information or to preorder tickets, call Jennifer Peterman at 803-787-1899, ext. 5, or visit Eventbrite.com.
