The Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce invites members and guests to a Chamber Coffee this Thursday, February 13th at 8am hosted by Chamber member T-Mobile, 2400 S. Main St., Ste. 300. Coffee, juice, and light refreshments will be served along with a door prize drawing.

Viewers of the recent Super Bowl would have seen that T-Mobile has some big news that, “IF YOU CAN SEE THE SKY, YOU’RE CONNECTED”. T-Mobile is on a mission to make every phone a satellite phone to bring coverage in ways users never thought would be possible. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. wireless provider with a mobile-plus-satellite network, connecting customers automatically so texting can be sent via satellite on most modern smartphones. Now anyone, on any carrier, can sign up to join the beta test and get satellite-powered messaging at no extra cost until July.

T-Mobile encourages locals to attend the Chamber Coffee or stop by the store soon to find out more and check out all the great Valentine’s deals we have for your special person.

Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (620) 223-3566 for more information. Visit the Events Calendar and category of Chamber Coffees on fortscott.com for upcoming locations.

SparkWheel is an independent nonprofit partnering with Fort Scott Public Schools to provide a model of wrap-around services for middle school and high school students and their families. SparkWheel’s full-time staff member in each Fort Scott site works to deliver its mission to remove barriers and provide those we serve with the tools and resources they need to thrive, now and into the future. The collaboration between SparkWheel and USD 234 started in the 2018-19 school year at the High School and then added Middle School services in 2020.

As an independent nonprofit that is impact-focused, SparkWheel is a multi-state organization providing integrated student support services. Across the SparkWheel network, the organization serves more than 30,000 students in 64 sites. Primarily a school-based model of services, SparkWheel has broadened its range of services to include early childhood through post-secondary activities. SparkWheel’s programs across southeastern Kansas include those in Uniontown, Pittsburg, Chanute, Independence, Neodesha, and Parsons.
