Orrstown Bank Participates in "Teach Children to Save" Day

Nearly 200 students attended the Bank’s “Teach Children to Save Day” on April 27^th. Jamie, Nichole, Bernie, and Gretchen offered a tour of the bank, snacks, a lesson on saving money versus eating at a restaurant, and a visit with Professor Pennywise. Stephanie Crouse of the Newport School District commented on the highlights of the visit: “The money sorter/bill counter is always a big hit, along with the vault.  A new feature this year was the counterfeit device - that was “way cool” according to the kids!  Orrstown Bank continues to be very generous to the students with their “goodie bags”.  The quarter to each student initiated a wonderful teaching opportunity the next day at school.  Many of the students brought in coins and quarter collections.  We coordinated social studies and math lessons with the quarters.”
