In-School Bank Program at CES

First National Bank is partnering with a local school to promote financial literacy. 

 

Chris Shaffer with the Clinton Community Education Foundation explains the In-School Bank Program, which is intended to teach students about money in an enriching and interesting way. 

 

 

Students can sign up to participate in this program any time throughout the year, with a parent's permission. Josh Shofner with First National Bank says the biggest benefits are building saving habits and other life skills. 

 

 

Shaffer says she's seen these young students' skills improve in real time, as they learn things like writing the date and counting money. She says it does a great job of keeping the kids engaged. 

 

 

Shofner notes they deposit the kids' money at the bank, and they work with CCEF to keep track of who has what. He says it's cool to see these kids grow their interest in financial literacy.
