Welcome New Teachers! The Annual New Teacher Coffee will be held Tuesday, August 8th
Hosting the annual New Teacher Coffee is our way of welcoming

coupons, sticky notes, etc. Each teacher receives one of these bags
filled to the brim with tokens from hometown businesses. We hope
you will consider working with us on this worthwhile event, we will
publish contributors’ names on the program as well as in the next
Chamber Connections eNewsletter.
