Pelican State Credit Union gave a total of $3,050 for school supplies to 11 school teachers in each of its branch parishes during its annual Classroom 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.
