The students, parents, and staff at Peru Community Schools are now enjoying a new full color electronic message center at the Middle School! This summer Huston replaced their static changeable copy reader board with a new full color Daktronics LED digital display. Schools often give announcements over loud-speakers for students to hear information and also mail monthly newsletters to their homes, but now they are able to communicate with parents and students daily using the digital sign. School administrators can now publish information on the sign regarding sporting events, extra-curricular activities, and more to keep students and parents informed on school events.
Huston also provided Peru’s High School with an electronic message center in January of 2013 and it has worked out so well that they decided to do the same for the Middle School. Huston has been a long-time electrical contractor for Peru Community Schools and we are privileged to work with them on their signage needs as well.
If you feel your business could benefit by advertising your products, specials, and sales on a new electronic message then please contact Samantha Milburn at [email protected].
