On New Year’s Eve, Latonia Elementary School in Covington, KY faced an unexpected challenge—a partial roof collapse in its gymnasium. Thankfully, no injuries occurred, but the incident disrupted learning and raised safety concerns for families and staff. As the community worked to stabilize the situation, Sunesis Containers stepped in to assist during this critical time.
