SAN DIEGO – Mission FCU announced yesterday a new program aimed at promoting the positive role played by area teachers.
The credit union is asking parents and kids to stop by one of its branches and fill out a "I’m Thankful for My Teacher" postcard and give the reasons.
At the end of the November-long campaign, Junior Achievement, a partner in the campaign, will tally the results and deliver all thank you postcards to teachers throughout the San Diego region, for additional recognition for the teachers.
The top six winning elementary, middle, and high school teachers receiving the most thank you cards will receive a gift card to reward themselves for all of their hard work.
To boost participation, the students in the class of the winning teachers will receive a fun classroom party or fieldtrip of their choice and the invaluable gift of Junior Achievement’s award-winning financial education curriculum taught in their classroom for an entire school year, compliments of Mission FCU.
Special honorable mention prizes are planned for ten additional deserving teachers. All winning teachers will be notified the week of December 7, 2008.
