Pelican State Credit Union awarded a total of $3,300 for school supplies to 12 school teachers in each of its branch parishes during its annual Teacher Bulletin Board Contest. This contest displayed the appreciation the credit union has for the teachers in its branch communities and showcased the credit union’s dedication to education.
Pelican’s Teacher Bulletin Board Contest encouraged teachers to submit a photo of their bulletin board, classroom door, or virtual learning background for a chance to win up to $350 for school supplies for their classrooms!

“The Teacher Bulletin Board Contest is a true representation of Pelican’s commitment to supporting the educators in its communities.
