🍎✨ Celebrating Teacher Appreciation! ✨🍎

The Watkins Chamber and Eden Valley Chamber of Commerce was proud to sponsor a special “Fill Your Cup” treat experience to show our gratitude for the incredible educators at Eden Valley - Watkins School District who give so much of themselves every single day.

From early mornings to late nights, our teachers and staff pour their hearts into shaping the future—and this was just a small way to help “fill their cups” in return. 💛

Thank you to all the amazing teachers and support staff for your dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to our community. You truly make a difference!
