Nominate a Teacher when you purchase a @FernbankMuseum Membership

Teachers have been rockstars this year!   At least the ones I know have! From having to learn virtual to having to teach kids with fear in their hearts and minds.  I love that Fernbank has seen this and is thanking teachers!  Just make sure you take advantage of this BEFORE MAY 31st! Please note, it is a nomination for the teacher you choose, not a guaranteed membership.  Read more below:

Thank a Teacher with Fernbank’s Buy One, Give One Membership Offer 

It’s been a challenging year for everyone, including educators, so thank a teacher with the gift of Fernbank 

 Atlanta- April 26, 2021 - The end of another unique school year is here, and Fernbank is offering a special way to say “thank you” to educators. From April 26-May 31, 2021 when guests purchase or renew a full-priced membership at the Family Explorer level or above, they can nominate an educator to receive a free Family Explorer membership as part of Fernbank Museum’s Buy One Give One (B1G1) membership campaign.  

 New and renewing members can celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week (May 3-7) by awarding hard-working educators a year of free admission to experience all that Fernbank has to offer while also taking advantage of membership benefits themselves. All members can enjoy unlimited free general admission to Fernbank, including access to exciting upcoming exhibits (Crocs, Nature’s Ninjas, Habitat, Woodland Spirits, Antarctic Dinosaurs, Winter Wonderland and Knights), as well as outdoor adventures in Wildwoods and Fernbank Forest, and other daily programming.  

 “It has been a very unusual and challenging year for all, including our educators, and we feel this campaign is a win-win opportunity,” said Allison Trice, Vice President of Member Services. “Our members can express their gratitude for all the hard work their favorite teachers have put in, and both parties get to enjoy all that Fernbank has to offer as a member. With the end of the school year and summer coming up, the timing is perfect.” 

If new or renewing members have multiple teachers they would like to thank, they can purchase a membership for one educator and Fernbank will donate a membership to another teacher of their choosing. If members don’t have a specific teacher they would like to nominate but would still like to participate, the museum will provide a membership to an educator at a Title-1 school. 

 After purchasing a new membership or renewing a current one at full-price, members will receive an email with the required form to nominate an educator. If guests are already a member and want to renew early as a part of the campaign, their new membership will begin when the current membership expires.  

 Special summer programming that families and selected educators can enjoy includes science-themed event days (Discovery Days)* such as Scales and Tails, Dinosaur Birthday Bash, Reptile Day, Ocean Wonders Day and more. Fernbank also offers special daily programming with activities like live-animal encounters, story times, nature walks and other immersive opportunities that are available to members at no extra charge. Other membership benefits include discounts at the Museum Store, Café and on special ticketed events.  

Memberships are available at Fernbank’s Membership page or via Member Services at Membership@FernbankMuseum.org or 404.929.6340.  

 *Discovery Days and high-demand ticket days/times are subject to sell-out due to limited capacity to keep guests safe. Members and non-members must reserve tickets in advance to guarantee admission. Because Fernbank is operating at reduced capacity, when time slots are sold out, Fernbank is unable to add additional tickets.
