Opportunity to Welcome
New Educators
This fall, Olathe Public Schools is welcoming 275 new educators and the Olathe Chamber of Commerce is here to help.
Each year, we partner with Olathe Public Schools by collecting coupons and marketing “swag” to add to welcome bags that are given out to each of these new educators to welcome them into our community. We’re reaching out to you to help us roll out the red carpet for all these new educators.
If you’re interested in donating 275 items or coupons, this is a perfect opportunity to promote your business to those educators who are new to our community. All items must be received by July 16. Please fill out this form to arrange pick up or drop off.
