Chamber Welcomes New MH Teachers
Chamber of Commerce members welcomed new Morgan Hill teachers in August with "goodie bags" created with items donated by members. This is the second year the Chamber's Education Council has prepared the bags to reach out to educators in the community and thank them for their contributions in the classroom. Approximately 80 bags have been distributed to newly-hired teachers in the Morgan Hill Unified School District, at Gavilan College – both the main branch and the Morgan Hill branch – and several private schools. The Chamber is still attempting to contact other private schools and education-related businesses in the area to distribute the remaining bags.
