BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – Marshall Community CU opened its seventh “CU in School” branch at Wattles Park Elementary.
The latest in-school branch will serve student members in grades first through fourth and is open every Wednesday morning.
CU In School is designed to help school-age children learn about work ethic and money management. If a student chooses to participate in the CU In School program they have the opportunity to apply for volunteer staff positions at their school branch. Children are chosen to actively participate in operating the branch and gain real life, on the job experiences.
With a CU In School membership, Marshall Community said students will receive a savings folder and receive dividends paid to their account monthly, as do all credit union members. MCCU’s CU In School program is in its 10th year of partnership with area schools. The program began at Sherman Elementary in 2001.
