Honoring our Planet
The official theme for Earth Day this year, is Our Power,Our Planet. The theme highlights that environmental progress is sustained through collective, daily actions by communities, educators, families and individuals, rather than relying on any single policy or organization.
According to EARTHDAY.ORG, “Since the first Earth Day in 1970, civic action has helped establish and strengthen environmental institutions, laws and international norms. These measures have been associated with reductions in pollution-related illness, improved access to clean water, and long-term public health and economic benefits in many parts of the world.”
You can celebrate the day in several simple ways like planting a tree, taking part in a community clean-up or increasing your efforts to recycle, reuse and compost. By attending Earth Day celebrations with children, you help future generations become more aware of the need to take care of our planet.

Stock Market Challenge
Axiom was a proud sponsor of the 2026 JuniorAchievement Stock Market Challenge Indiana, held at the IU Southeast Campus. Cullen Ebert, Jac Fitzpatrick and Sawyer Lillard were volunteers at the event. In preparation for the day, Cullen and Sawyer taught in high school classrooms at Floyd Central and Charlestown. The challenge is a “high school program that allows students to discover the benefits and challenges of investing in the stock market as a broader, long-term investment strategy, and the risks and rewards of trading.”
Championing Leadership
Axiom is the official sponsor of Leadership Southern Indiana’s 2026 Breakfast Series. In March, members of our team attended a session about changing high school requirements in the state.
