Community Engagement Connections
Chalkley ES Teachers
There are 830 students who attend CES, many of whom are from financially challenged families. The food, school supplies and clothing that you give make a great difference in the lives of the families of these dear children. The love you share with the teachers by hosting breakfast parties, teacher gifts and meeting the needs of the kids encourages the Chalkley staff and boosts morale! 
– Jessica Smith, Communities in Schools Coordinator
J. A. Chalkley Elementary School.

Dear Bon Air United Methodist Church, 
Our words cannot express how thankful we are for our partnership. The contributions your congregation have made to Chalkley Elementary this school year have made a huge impact on our students, staff and community. Beginning with the staff hospitality “snack station” the first week of this uncertain school year to school supplies, winter coats, sweatpants, leggings, face masks for our children. The “Hershey Snowmen” were a wonderful winter surprise for our staff, and the delicious staff breakfast was a great way to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. Financial donations from United Methodist Men have made it possible to purchase playground equipment. You are incredible! We all truly feel your love, your support and your prayers and we are forever grateful. We could not do what we do every day without you. We love each and every BAUMC member.

Virginia Conference District Alignment Team Update

Bishop Sharma Lewis and the District Alignment Team (DAT) shared an update about the ongoing work of district alignment in the Virginia Conference on Feb. 8, 2021. In 2020, this team, formed by Bishop Lewis, worked to answer the question, “How can districts most effectively order themselves for the adaptive challenges of the 21st century?
In the first communication, the team shared six forward-looking recommendations that are now being considered for implementation. Two near-term changes include the appointment of eight district superintendents to oversee the 16 districts effective July 1, 2021, as well as the creation of the District Developer position for the districts.
