The annual Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce’s Back-to-School Breakfast was the official kickoff of the school year. It was a time of recognition dedicated to the Jackson area’s finest individuals- our teachers.
"The Jackson area is blessed to have such dedicated educators and staff. Each day you are presented with a different challenge. Your task is not an easy one. You strive to mold the minds of our youth in order that they become productive citizens. On behalf of the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce and our business community, thank you for what you do," said Chamber Director, LaShaunda Holly.
Fifteen Bronze level sponsors and 48 businesses helped provide breakfast, door prizes and goody bags for all of the attendees. "Without the support of our business community, this event would not be possible. Thanks also to the Pine City Ambassadors, White Smith Memorial Library, Mayor and City Councilmen, Public Works Department, Solid Rock Christian School's Beta Club, and the First United Methodist Church volunteers for assisting with our set-up and clean-up efforts. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to partnering with you again next year," said Board of Directors President, DeAnne Wilson.
Held at the First United Methodist Church on August 7th, the event is the largest of its kind in the Jackson area. More than 200 teachers and school personnel from Jackson and Leroy were in attendance.
