Via Credit Union has a Student Branch at Allen Elementary that is run by 4th students who open new accounts and take deposits every Friday before school.
The purpose of the Student Branch is to help students establish money management skills and a habit of saving, while having fun! ViaCU will be offering various incentives throughout the year, plus each time a deposit is made students will be placed into both a weekly prize drawing and monthly $10 deposit drawing.
During October, students who make a deposit can spin the prize wheel for school supplies!
If you would like your child to start saving at the Allen Student Branch, please complete a permission slip and return it along with their initial deposit. Permission slips will be sent home but are also available at the school office.
