Violett Transforms Air Quality at Annie Wright Schools

Student well-being is woven into every aspect of life at Annie Wright Schools. Even with reliable air purifiers in place, the Lower School team saw an opportunity to do more—to raise the bar on infection control and ensure a healthier environment for their youngest learners and the teachers who support them.

“We’re an old building and work with young children,” said Director Ann Dicks. “The germs passed from the kids—plus potentially poor air from outside or in the building—were both important factors we felt Violett would address.”

Violett devices were deployed in Kindergarten classrooms, then moved to Preschool 4–5 classrooms. The two groups of students were chosen deliberately: similar in age, exposure, and schedule, but separate enough to serve as a reliable comparison.

Set-up was seamless. The devices integrated effortlessly into the learning environment. “They are easy to have in a classroom and don’t interfere with play or learning,” Dicks noted.

Proof: Fewer Sick Days, Improved Student Success

The difference was clear—and quantifiable.

That wasn’t just a health win—it translated into improved learning continuity and lower costs. Fewer substitutes were needed. More students stayed in class. And most importantly, teachers stayed healthy and present.

Conclusion: A+ for Impact, Peace of Mind, and Possibility

Teachers reported feeling safer and more supported—not just physically but emotionally. That sense of protection added a layer of peace of mind in a job that often runs on thin margins of energy, health, and time.

“It made a difference,” said Dicks. “Teachers were out sick less, which brought consistency to the classroom for our students.”

Annie Wright’s experience with Violett reveals meaningful health benefits, operational savings, and emotional relief for educators. “The positive impact is high all around," said Dicks. “Less missed school for teachers and students means less missed work for families.”

That’s what you call a breath of fresh air.
