Every summer the Windsor Chamber of Commerce holds a welcome luncheon for teachers who are new to the Windsor school system. The new teachers hear about the strong partnership that exists between the business and the educational communities in Windsor. The event is a great way for teachers, many of whom have recently moved to Windsor, to learn about the variety of businesses and cultural resources available to them in Windsor. For instance, the luncheon was held at the Windsor Historical Society; a venue that many teachers find helpful as an educational backdrop for history lessons.
Windsor Chamber of Commerce members are welcome to attend, meet and chat with the new teachers, introduce themselves to the group and contribute to the teachers' welcome packages. This year the packages included reusable bags from Windsor ACE Hardware, jewelry cloths from Ashley's Distinctive Jewelry and Gifts, pens and bags from Webster Bank, a copy of the latest issue of the Windsor Journal and many other items provided by Windsor businesses.
"We are pleased to welcome this group of exceptional teachers into our community," said Jane Garibay, Executive Director of the Windsor Chamber. Local business people sponsored the new teachers and had a chance to introduce themselves to the new teachers.
