Student banking started out strong last week!  Great job to all the kiddos who remembered their deposits!   And welcome to the many new/first time bankers!  We have exciting news: Banking Day will now be offered twice per month on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, except in December.   A huge thank you to Wendy Larkin for volunteering and making this possible.  Please add the new fall dates (in bold below) to your calendar and continue to encourage your child to save.

Thursday, October 20th - NEXT WEEK!

Thursday, November 3rd

Thursday, November 17th

Thursday, December 8th (No School on December 1st - Teacher Conferences)

If your child already has an account with HomeStreet bank, please remind him/her to bring their deposit to the table on the stage during lunch that day.  Deposits can be made in any amount starting with $1.00 and each student with a deposit gets a fun prize.

If your child does not have an account already, please stop by the Newcastle HomeStreet Branch anytime M-F during their business hours to open one.  You will need photo ID and SSN for both yourself and your child in order to open the account.   Once an account is set up for your child, s/he can begin bringing deposits to school on banking day.

Please feel free to e-mail me (michele.maresh@comcast.net) if you have any questions.
