We are gearing up for our 2nd Annual SA Teacher Fest on Saturday, July 20 to be held this year at The Pearl, and we would love to have you join us! We are happy to say that our inaugural event last summer was a huge success. This year, we are expecting to double our attendance to 500 educators! On behalf of Firstmark Credit Union and in partnership with SALT, we look forward to seeing you on the 20th!
SA Teacher Fest is unlike other back-to-school events, expos and fairs. SA Teacher Fest is a FREE event for educators only! Attendees will meet with organizations and companies who offer educator-only discounts, incentives and/or programs. Please consider being part of this FUN event!
