For over five years, JCBA member businesses have donated items for new teacher "welcome bags" which are distributed at the school district’s new employee orientation. JCBA Director Beth Bear said, “This is a great opportunity to support the schools, teachers & students in our school district. Our members are always giving back to our community, but they are particularly generous when it comes to our schools and education.” She continued, “This year is especially fun for me, as my sister, Margaret Bear is one of the new teachers that we are helping to welcome.” Margaret Bear is the new choral director at Jersey Community High School.
