Hershey Panther Branch Wraps Up Another Successful Year of In-School Savings Program

As the school year draws to a close, the Hershey Panther Branch is preparing to wrap up another successful year of its in-school savings program. The Panther Branch, operated in collaboration with Hershey State Bank, has been instrumental in teaching students the importance of financial literacy and responsible saving habits.

Important Announcement:

The last day to make deposits for the current school year will be Thursday, April 25, 2024. Following this date, the Panther Branch will be closed for the remainder of the school year.

This year, students have eagerly participated in the in-school savings program, learning valuable lessons about money management and the benefits of saving for the future. With the guidance of dedicated staff, students, and volunteers, students have had the opportunity to deposit money into their savings accounts right here at school, fostering a sense of independence and responsibility.

Appreciation for Support:

The success of the in-school savings program would not have been possible without the support of our school community and Hershey State Bank. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the parents, teachers, staff, and volunteers who have had a helping hand in making this program a success throughout the school year. A special thanks to Mrs. Motika Elder, Mrs. Anna Stacy, Mrs. Cynthia Elliott, Mrs. Messersmith, Mr. Connell, our FBLA & 6th grade Students!

Your dedication and commitment to promoting financial literacy among our students are truly commendable, and we are grateful for your continued support.

Looking Ahead:

As we conclude another successful year, we eagerly anticipate the continuation of the Panther Branch in the 2024-25 school year. We look forward to welcoming returning students and new participants to the program and continuing to provide valuable opportunities for financial education and savings.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has contributed to the success of the Hershey Panther Branch. Together, we are making a positive impact on the financial futures of our students.
