(Springfield, VA) As a part of Interstate's continuing school-business partnership with Flint Hill Elementary School in Vienna, Virginia, Interstate hosted a field trip for 96 second graders.
The children arrived at the facility in the morning, eager to learn. COO, Bud Morrissette and Marketing Manager, Maureen Cameron guided the students through the company's headquarters. They toured the warehouse and the "Talking Training House," and explored a tractor-trailer, making sure to honk the horn on their way out! The field trip concluded with a pizza lunch and souvenirs of their visit.
