SWC Technology Partners, a Midwest business-technology consultancy and IT solution provider, has partnered with Microsoft and Alain Locke Charter School to spread cheer this season to local professionals and holiday shoppers alike in Oak Brook, IL. Fifty students from Alain Locke Charter School’s All-Star Choir and Band travelled from their campus in Chicago’s East Garfield Park to Oak Brook for a performance of holiday songs at SWC Technology Partners headquarters followed by an encore at the Microsoft Store at Oakbrook Center for staff and customers to enjoy.
“It was a very warm, and cheerful event — especially with a surprise visit from Santa himself,” said Megan Wright, Community Development Specialist at Microsoft. “The students all enjoyed a technology scavenger hunt and received goodie bags. Special thanks to our friends at SWC and the talented students at Alain Locke. We hope to do this again next year!”
SWC has partnered with Alain Locke Charter School since 2011 on initiatives to enhance the lives of the students, providing hardware and IT expertise to progress the school’s educational technology and infrastructure, ensuring Alain Locke stays competitive with today’s scholastic demands. SWC has also become part of the school community by participating in various fundraising and volunteering activities throughout year.
