Rockwall, TX (May 10, 2023) – The annual JER Chilton YMCA Teachers Prayer Breakfast, dedicated to the professional educators who serve area districts, is scheduled for Wednesday, July 26 at 6:45 a.m. An open invitation is extended to all Rockwall County area educators to join community members and YMCA leaders for a time of prayer, reflection and celebration to kick off the new school year.
Each year, JER Chilton YMCA board members put considerable time into planning the annual event. Rockwall Fire Chief Kenneth Cullins, Chairperson of this year’s planning committee, spoke to the significance for them as well as the YMCA organization saying, “The YMCA recognizes the importance of a quality education system and values the tremendous impact that teachers and administrators have on the development of the future of our city, state and country.” We want to use this opportunity to express our gratitude for their hard work and dedication and provide them with prayer and encouragement as they prepare for a new year.”
This year’s scriptural theme, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17) addresses the critical role of an educator in the life of others, children as well as fellow teachers, parents, and school districts as a whole.
The catered breakfast includes a keynote presentation by Dr. Amy Anderson, Deputy Superintendent of Curriculum for Royse City ISD. Joining RCISD in 2022 after serving Rockwall schools for 20 years, Dr. Anderson is well known to focus on the importance of developing strong relationships.
Prize raffles from a variety of local businesses are also included and onsite childcare is available by reservation.
