Mrs. Haneline says, "This month is Community Banker Month and Mrs. Buckner and Mr. Stone from Progressive Ozark Bank stopped by our first grade classes today to give us piggy banks, some play money, and to share with us about saving and spending.
They have invited our first grade students to decorate the piggy banks at home as part of a contest. Our decorated piggy banks will be displayed in the lobby at Licking Progressive Ozark Bank. Parents, friends, and customers get to vote for their favorite by putting money in the piggy banks (student’s names will be on them). The one with the most money will win an individual prize. The money collected altogether in the piggy banks will be donated back to the Licking Elementary first grade classrooms for supplies. Thanks for visiting, Mr. Stone and Mrs. Buckner!"
