Over 60 employee volunteers from 8 Las Vegas resorts and corporate office participated in Make a Difference Day 2009, with George E. Harris Elementary School students, teachers and parents.
In keeping with the mission of George E. Harris Elementary School to "meet the academic, emotional, and social needs of all students in order for each individual to realize maximum academic and social potential for future success," Harrah's joined the school in promoting environmental sustainability and healthy living.

-- Edible garden installation -- Book drive and book cleaning -- Cleaning classrooms, hallways, bathrooms and playground -- Cosmetic painting including the playground equipment
"Holistic approaches to healthy living and environmental stewardship and are very important to Harrah's," says Jan Jones, senior vice president, communications & government relations, Harrah's Entertainment. "We must leave our community and our planet in the most responsible hands. Educating children on the ideals of conservation is the best way to ensure future success."
