Dear Teacher Community, school leaders, and friends,
It was fantastic to see so many of you at the third annual NOLA Teacher Fest, presented by New Schools for New Orleans and sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl New Orleans Teacher Community. You were nearly 2,000 educators strong, representing 100% of our city’s public schools.
“I love that you celebrate teachers and educators and I hope you are able to continue the events that you currently do!”
We loved sharing great food and drinks with you, and dancing to the D Play Band, Hot Boy Ronald, Roi “Chip” Anthony, and DJ Polo!
Many of you enjoyed the great photo booth out at the fest, and we are excited to share those photos and videos! You can view them in the previous links.

We hope you enjoyed the giveaways, delicious Kona Ice, the glitter mobile, vendors, and STEM activities. And we send a big congratulations to the teachers of Dr. King Charter School, who showed up in the most creative shirt and won our contest for free breakfast for them and their colleagues!

“I was thoroughly pleased with this year’s festival. I felt very appreciated. I saw several former students who are now educators. I was a “proud mom” in that moment.”
Thanks to those of you who submitted your feedback survey–we were thrilled to see such a positive response. Many of you expressed sentiments of feeling valued and appreciated, and that is what truly makes this event feel like a success .We’re excited to announce that our winners of the survey raffle are Dana Gainey (Audubon Uptown) and Michaleen McGowan Bickham (New Orleans Charter Science and Math High School).
