SYRACUSE, N.Y. – It took five-year-old Madalynn Davis all of the 60 seconds allotted to her but she was able to grab $219 inside the ESM-NS CU cash vault. The East Syracuse Elementary kindergartner, who was chosen from a pool of 350 pupils who opened accounts with the credit union this year, practiced grabbing handfuls of scraps of paper her mom blew around with a hair dryer. The practice paid off for the tot, whose goal was $100. Madalynn pledged to donate some of her catch to the local food pantry at St. Mathew’s Church. A classmate will get a chance to grab $3500 in June as part of the credit union’s promotion.
