This teacher appreciation week, the employees decided to show their family members who teach how appreciative they are of the great work they do. �

Staff members had signs with the name of their family member who teaches printed and shared with others why they appreciate the job their family member does. One of the credit unions team members has seven teachers in her immediate family while several others had two or more.
