Gunny’s Commitment to Local Education
At Gunny’s Air Conditioning and Plumbing, serving homes goes beyond HVAC and plumbing. We care about our community—and that includes supporting local schools.
Our CEO, Christopher Marshall, has always believed in the power of literacy to shape young minds. When the invitation came to participate in Nevada Reading Week, we knew this was more than an event—it was a chance to be part of something meaningful for Las Vegas and Pahrump students.
This commitment aligns with our broader initiatives, like honoring HVAC graduates at Florence McClure and celebrating CSN HVAC graduates, showing that education and community engagement are core to everything we do.
Nevada Reading Week at Bilbray Elementary: A Day to Remember
When our team arrived at Bilbray Elementary School in Las Vegas, the energy was contagious. Classrooms buzzed with excitement as students prepared for story time.
During our visit, the Gunny’s team:
- Read aloud to multiple grade levels
- Asked students questions about the stories
- Shared favorite books and listened to their perspectives
Teachers welcomed us warmly, and it quickly became more than a visit—it felt like a collaboration. This mirrors our approach to HVAC service: teamwork, care, and genuine connection.
Our outreach builds on events like Career Day 2025, where we inspired students by sharing both educational and career experiences.
What the Students Taught Us
The highlight wasn’t the books we brought or the stories we read—it was the students’ reactions. Their eyes lit up with excitement, their questions were insightful, and their imaginations ran wild.
Moments like these reminded us that giving time and attention can be more impactful than any material donation. Small gestures, when heartfelt, leave lasting impressions.
Why Nevada Reading Week Matters
Every March, Nevada Reading Week brings together schools, families, and community partners to celebrate literacy. It’s more than just reading books—it’s about:
- Inspiring a lifelong love for reading
- Enhancing critical thinking and imagination
- Encouraging community involvement in education
More Than HVAC: Building a Stronger Community
Gunny’s is proud to serve Las Vegas, Pahrump, and the surrounding areas—not just with HVAC and plumbing services, but with a commitment to our community’s well-being.
From supporting local events to giving back to schools, we believe in doing our part. It’s not a one-time effort; it’s a long-term responsibility. The same care we bring to homes, we bring to people. Because community support is at the core of everything we do.
Bilbray Elementary’s Enthusiasm
Bilbray Elementary embraced the spirit of Reading Week fully:
- Book-themed classroom decorations
- Teachers leading interactive reading circles
- Students dressing as their favorite characters
- Parents actively participating
It was inspiring to see how everyone—teachers, students, and families—worked together to make reading exciting and engaging, much like our participation in the CSN HVAC Job Fair.

Our visit to Bilbray Elementary was just the beginning. Under Christopher Marshall’s leadership, Gunny’s plans to:
- Support more schools and literacy programs in Las Vegas and Pahrump

We’re committed to helping our communities thrive, the same way we care for homes every day.
