Chamber Members Reach Out to AVID Students in BISD On Friday, November 21, Chamber member volunteers gave presentations to all of the AVID classes in Birdville ISD. They presented to students at Haltom, North Oaks and Watauga Middle Schools, and at Haltom and Richland High Schools. Our presenters were: Jason Moore - City of Richland Hills, Kandra Keith - North Richland Hills Library, Christi Garcia - Richland Hills Police Department, Grace Daniels - Oncor, Lisa Self - Tarrant County College NE Campus, David Nelson - Attorney, Clayton Comstock - City of North Richland Hills, Dr. James Taylor - Chiropractor, Jennifer Stephens - City of North Richland Hills, Sheka Hart - Frost Bank, and Letty Evans - Attorney. The presenters appreciated the opportunity to connect with the community, and reported that the students were very attentive and asked great questions. They were asked to present about their education and any struggles they may have overcome along the way to achieving their current postions. Many of the presenters brought items to show to the class, to help in understanding their various careers. The teachers have given very positive feedback and definitely appreciate having another caring adult available to speak to their students.
