Indianola Blues Society Welcomes TFA TEACHERS!

Welcome Back!  ClevelandDelta State volunteer Elsie Lynn Ervin (right) provides directions for Teach For America corps members arriving Sunday to the Delta State campus.  Over 100 Delta State and Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce volunteers braved the heat to welcome participants as they arrived.  About 550 new corps members arrived Sunday, bringing the total of Teach For America students and staff at Delta State to over 1,000, an increase of over 200 participants over last year. The Teach For America corps members and staff will be at Delta State and the Delta until mid-July.  Around 300 Teach For America students will remain in the Delta region for the next two years to teach in public schools.
