As part of the LESA celebration of Teacher Appreciation week, we had another day of surprise and delight for the LESA/ Lutheran Federal Credit Union Adopt A Teacher Program!

We are thrilled to announce that Linda Trower from Abiding Savior Lutheran School has been selected in May as an honoree of the Adopt-A-Teacher program-a special initiative sponsored by Lutheran Federal Credit Union (LutheranFCU) in partnership with the Lutheran Elementary School Association (LESA).

The Adopt-A-Teacher program was established to support educators in Lutheran schools by providing financial resources to enhance their classroom environments. Principals from participating schools were invited to nominate teachers who exemplify a deep commitment to student learning and embody the school’s mission and vision. This year, Linda Trower stands out for her exceptional dedication and service to Lutheran education.

As one of 31 outstanding Lutheran educators recognized this year, Linda will soon receive a special package in the mail, which includes:

  • An Amazon Gift Card ($125 or $250) to use in her classroom
  • A T-shirt and other goodies!

The goal of the program is to recognize and encourage teachers like Linda, who help students grow in their knowledge of God’s creation and His love. By providing these resources, LutheranFCU and LESA hope to further enrich the educational experience for students and support the dedicated professionals who inspire them every day.

Thanks to all the teachers honored for your unwavering commitment to your students and to the values of Lutheran education! Your efforts are deeply appreciated by our Lutheran community and beyond. More live adoptions coming in May!

HONOREE
