AES GATE 4th graders are employees of a credit union right at our own school! Community Credit Union partners with AES each Tuesday morning to open our school branch. All 3rd and 4th grade students are eligible to open a savings account with as little as 50 cents. Students learn real life skills of how to fill out a deposit slip and watch their money grow through quarterly statements mailed to them at their home. Upon opening an account, students receive a free t-shirt and, of course, get a sucker after saving! Our GATE 4th graders are the tellers who actually have to record the deposits AND balance their drawers like a REAL bank teller! Our runners are the kids who go class to class announcing when it is time for each class to come to AES CCU! This experience is great for all kids to learn the importance of saving, depositing, and for practicing math skills. Our tellers and runners do an excellent job of "working" at AES CCU!
