Brandywine Elementary School celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Bobcat Student Credit Union on Wednesday, January 5th. Leading the assembly was Honor’s Community Assistant Vice President, Karol Behrle. Joining her in attendance were Honor team members, Michigan Senator Kim LaSata, District Director Daniel Carrick, Brandywine Community Schools Superintendent Karen Weimer, and Brandywine Elementary Principal James Boger.
Senator Kim LaSata and Honor’s Karol Behrle spoke to the students about the importance of bringing a student credit union and financial literacy to their school. By depositing funds into their accounts, students learn the importance of building a healthy habit of saving for the future.
After the speeches, the student tellers joined the team in cutting the ribbon, marking the official opening for the Bobcats.
“It’s very rewarding working with these young students to teach them how starting with a deposit as little as $1 can grow,” commented Karol Behrle. “Our student credit unions provide the students the chance to deposit money into their accounts and get them excited about saving for future life stages.”
