Upcoming Events
Celebrating Our ISD & Sponsors!
Each year the Melissa ISD recognizes The Teacher of the Year for each school, as well as their top staff member from each department and a District-wide Teacher of the Year. This event, in front of more than 1,200 in attendance, is a huge boost to the start of the school year.
Together with that, these sponsors made a tremendous difference in each of these staff members' lives, by being a part of a sponsorship up to $2,500! Thank you sponsors for being a part of saying "thank you" to those who are making a difference in the lives of the children in Melissa! This is truly building bridges between businesses and community through relationships that connect.
Celebrating Sucess!
Our annual banquet is the highlight of the year for the Chamber. It is also when we come together to celebrate each other, raise some funds to grow & giveback to our members and the community, but also to celebrate those who were voted as Melissa's Large Business of the Year, Small Business of the Year and Person of the Year.
Congratulations to the 2023 winners - well done!
