Border Federal Credit Union held their third Teachers & School Administrators Appreciation Breakfast Wednesday morning.

The first 500 teachers to arrive were treated to back-to-school goodie bags, prizes were given out during the event, and educators had the option to register for a $500 teacher scholarship.

“This is a little thanks to our educators because we know how hard they work throughout the year,” said BFCU CEO Maria Martinez. “We do a breakfast for them, we invite the school administrators and we have tacos, free shirts, prizes, but the main thing is we’re giving away a $500 scholarship that could be used to buy educational supplies or anything that they need for the classroom.”

 Martinez said despite the weather, the event was a success.

“Today we got the rain here but that didn’t stop the teachers.The turn out is great, and the place is packed with teachers coming and going,” said Martinez. “The other thing is they come in and they see and get to talk to some of their peers about how beautiful their summer was and how exciting their year is going to be,” said Martinez. “Everybody finds a friend, teachers come by themselves, but everybody seems to find a friend in this community, and that’s what it’s all about.”

Support from school administrators helped with the high attendance.

“if you can get through the school administrators they let their teachers off for at least one hour to let them enjoy this,” said Martinez. 

Martinez would like to thank Eagle Pass BFCU Branch Manager Diana Salinas and her staff, as well as Marketing Specialist Abram Rodriguez for working year-round to make the event possible.

BFCU celebró desayuno para maestros 

Border Federal Credit Union celebró su tercer  desayuno de apreciación    para maestros y administradores ayer miércoles por la mañana.

A los primeros 500 maestros  que llegaron se les dieron unas bolsas con regalos,  los premios fueron entregados durante el evento, y un profesor tenían la opción de solicitar una beca de profesor  por $500. 

"Este es un poco gracias a nuestros educadores porque sabemos lo duro que trabajan durante todo el año," dijo el CEO de BFCU Maria Martinez. "Hacemos un desayuno para ellos, invitamos a los administradores de la escuela y tenemos tacos, camisetas gratis, premios, pero lo principal es que sorteamos una beca de $500 que podría ser utilizada para comprar material educativo o cualquier cosa que necesite para el aula". 

Martínez dijo  que a pesar del clima, el evento fue un éxito. 

"Hoy  a pesar de la lluvia los profesores asistieron al desayuno ,"dije Martinez. "La otra cosa es que vienen a  saludar a   algunos de sus compañeros sobre qué hermoso fue su verano y Qué emoción el año va a ser," dijo Martinez. "Todo el mundo encuentra a un amigo, docentes acuden por sí mismos, pero todo el mundo parece encontrar a una amiga en esta comunidad, y  de eso es lo que se trata". 

El apoyo de los administradores de la escuela nos ayudó con la alta participación. 

"Si usted puede conseguir a través de los administradores de la escuela que dejen a  sus maestros para por lo menos una hora disfrutar de esto," dijo Martínez. 

Martinez quisiera agradecer a la Gerenta Diana Salinas y su personal , así como Marketing Especialista Abram Rodríguez por trabajar durante todo el año para hacer posible este gran evento.

 Border Federal Credit Union is starting the school year off with a teacher and school administrator appreciation breakfast on Wednesday, August 17.
