School Spotlight: Plymouth Scholars Charter Academy Students Grow Their Savings Early!

Education Partnership Coordinator, Amy Pashukewich, arrives ready and eager for a socially-distanced, masked deposit day!

Students at PSCA put their deposits in a locked box that traveled with Education Partnership Coordinator, Amy Pashukewich, from classroom to classroom.  After making their deposits, students were able to pick a coin pouch as a prize.

Saving money is not an easy task for anyone.  The urge to spend is sometimes hard to overcome.  But saving money from an early age can be incredibly rewarding.  The money you save as a student can add up very quickly! 

Every year, Education Partnership Coordinators hear students’ saving success stories, and about how impactful the Student-Run Credit Union program has been to themselves, sons/daughters, etc.!  Many of these stories include how much money students have been able to save from a young age.  Last year, a grandmother shared that her grandson had enough money saved for a down payment on a car already.  He was an incoming 6^thgrader!  Even though it’s difficult to save your money (especially during a pandemic), there are opportunities to do so, and Community Financial will continue to work diligently to find ways for students to save their money whenever possible. 

If you would like more information about the Student-Run Credit Union, or you would like to open a youth savings account, please visit our website at www.cfcu.org/scu.  In addition, Community Financial offers many different types of savings accounts as well.  For more information, visit: www.cfcu.org/savings.
