The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) held a ribbon cutting ceremony for Batesville Media Center on Thursday, September 7, 2017.
Batesville High School was awarded an IMPACT Independence County mini-grant. The grant will make it possible for the school to purchase textbooks for students taking career training or college coursework to rent for their classes, since they will only need them for a semester, and then return them to the library for other students to utilize when they take the same course. Batesville High School has taken a tremendous step in creating The Impacting Pioneer Resource library, which will make taking career training and college coursework more accessible for students who have the burden of paying for college courses, fees, and textbooks.
Ambassadors in attendance included: Michael Johnson (Anytime Fitness), Candy Davis (Arkansas Sheriff’s Youth Ranch), Pasha Alexander (Centennial Bank), Ashley Engles (Citizens Bank), Tracy McClurg (Citizens Bank), Alan Price (FNBC), Matt Rush (FNBC), Bill Olivia (First Community Bank), Cliff Brown (First Community Bank), Brooke Stevenson (Ind. CO. Cable TV), Kyle McMullin (Independence County Abstract), Lisa Pinkston (Network of Community Options), Julie Hinkle (Southern Bank), Erick Oyemaja (Southern Tire), Tina Paul (UACCB).
