Nonprofit hosts TeacherFest 2026 for Lowcountry teachers

The Charleston-based nonprofit Teacher Care Club hosted "TeacherFest 2026" in North Charleston on Saturday. The free community event provided local educators with mental health and wellness resources, including workshops, vendor booths, and live music. Founder Sara Toppe, a fourth-grade teacher, established the organization to support teachers' well-being, with hopes of expanding the initiative beyond the Lowcountry to provide similar support to educators on a national scale in the future.
