Students
from Taylor Parks Elementary School have joined the work force.
Advia
Credit Union, under the tutelage of Community Marketing Coordinator Marianne
Hammons, has been helping students to operate a school savings program.
Twice
a month, the Learn2Earn staff open their doors for students who wish to open an
account or for students who already have active accounts to add to it. Some TP
students have been saving with the Credit Union since they were in
Kindergarten. The Learn2Earn program is in its 12th year at Taylor Parks.
Open
to 5th graders, interested students first had to apply and then interview for
the positions that they were interested in having. Once chosen, the students
underwent an intensive training period with Mrs. Hammons, which included such
jobs as marketing and advertising, computer technicians, team leaders, member
services and tellers.
Mrs.
Hammons feels that, "financial responsibility is greater now than in the
past. Our children need to know the difference between need and
want."
