Celebrating Our Classroom Champions in Style
On Friday, August 1st, more than 150 educators from across Palm Beach County gathered at The Mall at Wellington Green for a heartfelt—and fashion-forward—celebration of all they do to inspire and empower students year-round.
Hosted in partnership with the Wellington Community Foundation, A Toast to Teachers was a joyful sendoff into the new school year, complete with
- Brunch by the Bite – Sweet and savory treats (and yes, a little bubbly!)
- Teacher Fashion Show – Featuring local educators strutting the runway in back-to-school style, with outfits provided by retailers from The Mall at Wellington Green
- Swag Bags – Packed with classroom essentials and teacher treats including copy paper provided by Office Depot!
- Raffles & Giveaways – Including gift cards, goodies, and classroom supplies
- Shopping Perks – Exclusive teacher discounts during Florida’s Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
Special thanks to our event hosts, participating retailers, and community partners who helped make this event such a success, and of course, to the amazing educators who joined us. You are the heart of public education, and we’re cheering you on for a fantastic 2025-2026 school year!
“Our goal was simple—to show our teachers just how valued, appreciated, and celebrated they truly are. They give so much all year long, and this was a chance to give something back.”
