Teacher Appreciation Day

To show our support and appreciation to area educators, the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce with presenting sponsor MidWestOne Bank, A Division of Nicolet National Bank, is excited to host our Annual Teacher Appreciation event on Wednesday, September 23rd from 4:30PM to 6:00PM at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center. This year, we are inviting all teachers from: Fairfield Community Schools, Maharishi School, Pekin Schools, Van Buren County Schools, and Cardinal Schools.

National studies suggest that the average teacher spends in excess of $1,000 per year of their own money in their classroom. This event is aimed at helping teachers stock their classrooms with the supplies they need and not have to break their own bank.  Let’s show our support for the educators of our children, the people who build the cornerstones of our community.

We invite area teachers to come out and enjoy the evening with us. Grab some appetizers and a glass of cider, stock up on classroom supplies, mingle with other teachers from the area, and relax a bit. Childcare is also provided.  Children should be left in the choldcare area so all teachers can enjoy the event. And best of all, it’s all free for being an amazing educator in our community. Because let’s face it, they DESERVE it!

Reach out to Mendy McAdams at the Chamber to join the businesses supporting those educating our future: Chamber@FairfieldIowa.com (or 641) 472-2111.

Teacher’s RSVPs are needed. Email Info@FairfieldIowa.com to let us know you are coming. Be sure to tell us if you are a first-year teacher as we will have a gift for those in their first year.

The Teacher Appreciation Event is open to all educators in the Fairfield area, as well as community members who wish to show their support. Admission is free, but registration is encouraged to ensure adequate arrangements.

Teachers deserve our love and appreciation for all they do for our children. We want to eliminate the stress and burden of stocking their room so the teachers can focus on what’s important, our children.
