  • Foresters Financial celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-6

    May 3, 2016 by Foresters

    NEW YORK, May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ – Foresters Financial is proud to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-6, 2016. This week is a time for the nation to honor and recognize the contributions teachers make in our lives. Each teacher influences students in the classroom in their own unique way. Being a teacher can be a difficult job, but it is also one of the most important.

    “We all had teachers who pushed us, counseled us or took friends or family members under their wing to help shape our lives in a more positive and fulfilling way,” said Paul Prete, Vice President for Retirement Programs at Foresters Financial Services, Inc. “A quality education is the very backbone of a strong future for any individual and for the nation as whole. That’s why Foresters Financial has made it a point to help school employees with their investment and retirement planning needs since 1974 in over 1,800 school districts across North America.”

    Each year Foresters Financial gives back to schools by sponsoring numerous types of school employee events such as “lunch and learns”, “back-to-school” nights, teacher appreciation day activities, “educator-of-the month” awards and fundraising projects for school supplies.

    In addition, Foresters Financial provides personal financial guidance to teachers with financial education workshops about topics such as Social Security benefits, retirement planning, state teacher pension plans, 403(b) programs and financial wellness seminars.      

    “The challenges facing teachers today are greater than ever before,” Prete added. “However, the truth is that every week should be treated as teacher appreciation week. That’s why it’s been a priority of Foresters Financial to support the efforts of educators on an ongoing basis throughout the year – as well as to take pause and honor them with a special time of year that is just for them.”
