School Staff Spotlight
This year with this program, Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union is shining a light on all school staff that make a difference in our communities, and we want to hear from you!
Use the form below to nominate any school staff member that deserves an extra boost of recognition—teachers, administration, bus drivers, lunch staff, secretaries and more! Tell us all about the positive impact this school staff member has had on you or your child's life. Each month, from Sept. 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027 AAACU will randomly select one winner from that month’s pool of nominees. That school staff member will receive a $100 gift card and be recognized on our social media and website as the AAACU School Staff Spotlight for that month. For your nomination to be considered, the teacher must be nominated no later than the last business day of the month and be an educator working in Alpena, Alcona, Cheboygan, Emmet, Iosco, Montmorency or Presque Isle County. If your nominee didn't get selected their nomination will roll over into the next month for another chance to win. Winners can only win once per school year!
The winner will receive a $100 gift card and a bag of swag from AAACU.
