Description

Each August the Chamber honors and welcomes all the new teachers in the LSR-7 school District with a New Teacher Breakfast. The Chamber partners with the Lee's Summit Educational Foundation, LSR-7 School District and our members to recognize and support these wonderful new teachers. In 2024 LSR-7 will welcome approximately 140 new teachers to the District. 

There are three ways you can get involved in supporting our teachers! 

• Be a sponsor at the event 
• Put together a basket of School supplies for the new teachers to use in their classroom
• Donate items for goody bags for every new teacher. (150 items)

Sponsorship

Your sponsorship dollars will help support a Teacher of the Year Grant and also the Chamber's Scholarship program.

• Gold Sponsor- $750
• Silver- $500

School Supply Basket Donation or Monetary Donation for School Supplies

Help make our classrooms a great place for our children and future leaders by donating a basket of school supplies to our new teacher breakfast! The baskets will be used as our centerpieces, and door prizes! We will give away as many baskets as we acquire our goal is 50!

The basket value should be a minimum of $50. Be creative, and remember we have new teacher's from Kindergarten through High School, teaching a variety of subjects, so the sky is the limit when it comes to supplies!

If you want to support this initiative but aren't feeling creative or don't have the time to put a basket together. No worries, the Education committee can do that for you. You can make a donation in increments of $50 for a basket to be put together on your behalf.
