Sterling Bank Helps Kids See the Value of Learning to Save

CHETEK – Sterling Bank announced the winners of its "Teach Your Child to Save Day" coloring contest this week. Winners were selected from entries collected at each branch location. Each winner receives a $25 contribution to their Sterling Bank savings account and will have their picture prominently displayed in the bank during the next several weeks.     

“National Teach Your Child to Save Day” was established by the American Banker’s Association Education Foundation more than a decade ago as a way to show banking industry support for teaching children money management skills and encouraging them to save money for the future. This year, the event was celebrated on April 21st. The coloring contest ran through May 2nd.  

Saving and financial responsibility are things Sterling Bank believes children should be learning about from an early age. Recent studies suggest that while most parents are diligent about helping their kids to read, write and mind their manners, sometimes important topics like financial responsibility and saving for the future often get overlooked. With an ever-growing reliance on credit, many experts agree that helping children understand the true value of money and the necessity of saving is paramount to helping them achieve success in the future.  

In addition to being part of the Teach Your Child to Save program, Sterling Bank helps raise awareness about the importance of money management among area youth through financial tutorials at local schools and with regular promotions through its Junior Saver’s Program.   For more information contact Sterling Bank at (715) 924-4817.
