School Savings Program from Lewiston State Bank

Lewiston State Bank has informed us that they have a savings program for students that helps teach them to save while they are young. This is a free service and available to all students. Bank representatives will come to our school once a week and take student deposits in any amount.

We are looking for feedback and interest in this program. Is this a program that you would like to see us implement at Greenville? Please post a comment on the blog and let us know what you think.
