BULLHEAD CITY – Four key businesses and organizations have donated hundreds of individual welcome bag items for 40 new Bullhead City School District teachers. Everything was contributed after the Bullhead Area and Laughlin Chambers of Commerce spread the word about the drive.
The new teachers represent those relocating to the Colorado River Valley for the first time, locals who went through BCSD’s and Northern Arizona University’s “Grow Your Own” program, experienced faculty from other schools and districts, student teachers, and current BCSD faculty moving into new roles.
Welcome bags and supplies came from the BHHS Legacy Foundation, Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce, Bullhead City Police Department, and Western Arizona Regional Medical Center. The welcome bags have a variety of items, ranging from visitor guides, area maps, notepads and office supplies to cooling towels and restaurant gift cards.
“Once again, a very giving community has stepped up,” said BCSD Superintendent and 37-year local resident Dr. Carolyn Stewart. “Our many community partners help welcome classroom colleagues and support our district in a myriad of ways throughout the year.”
BCSD’s new teachers will be in all classroom levels, from pre-kindergarten through eighthgrade. The District’s school year began July 27.
