Kids Bank
Hi there, welcome to Kids Bank! It's a cool program with First National Bank in Valley Junction. Kids Bank helps us learn about running a bank, and it's connected to our school's Positive Behavior program.
In Kids Bank, you can:
- Be a Board Member: Open new accounts and keep track of who's working.
- Be a Bank Teller: Count money and help customers with deposits and withdrawals.
- Join the Marketing Committee: Make ads and announcements to tell everyone about the program.
It's a fun way to learn and be part of something special at Hillside Elementary!
