Back to School With the Chamber:
Supporting Classrooms, Students and Educators Every Step of the Way

As summer winds down and classrooms begin to buzz with new energy, the Ponca City Chamber’s Education & Workforce Committee steps into action, lending heart, hands and resources to help our schools start strong. August is one of the busiest and most meaningful months for the committee, packed with programs that directly support students and celebrate the educators who guide them.

One of our favorite traditions each August is the New Teacher Luncheon, held during Ponca City Public Schools’ New Teacher Orientation. This annual event, hosted at the beautiful Ponca City Country Club, is a grand community welcome. It’s our way of showing new educators that Ponca City is behind them from day one. With help from generous sponsors like American Roofing, which is providing 40 meals this year, we make sure every new teacher feels appreciated and supported. Want to be part of this warm welcome? You can sponsor meals or provide Chamber Bucks by calling 580-765-4400.
