Chatham County Association of Educators

State Senator Bob Atwater, County Commissioners and Siler City’s new Mayor-elect were among the community leaders who attended CCAE’s Education Reception on November 19. The event was held in the Media Center at Jordan Matthews High School.

Board of Education member Deb McManus joined County Commissioners George Lucier, Sally Kost, Carl Thompson and Tom Vanderbeck in attendance. CCAE members also welcomed newly elected Siler City Commissioner-at-large Cindy Bray and mayor Charles Johnson.
Everyone gathered around food for conversation about local and education issues.

During American Education Week, this week, Americans nationwide join the National Education Association in raising awareness about the need to provide every child with a quality public education. The celebration highlights the importance of bringing together educators, parents, students, and communities in a unified effort to build great public schools.
