ODESSA, Texas — The Odessa Chamber of Commerce hosted a welcome breakfast for new ECISD teachers on July 30.

"The school year is just a few weeks away and this is a small way for us to honor these teachers," said Renee H. Earls, the President and CEO of the Odessa Chamber of Commerce.
"They have such an important job and they are truly in charge of our future... workers of Odessa. So this is a small way for us to say thank you and welcome to the new school year."
