MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – In celebration of Credit Union Youth Month, art students from local elementary schools helped decorate more than 800 teller cash envelopes that will be distributed at MMCCU in Marshfield starting Thursday, May 1.
Students from Nasonville, Washington, Lincoln, Madison, Grant, St. John’s, OLP, Immanuel Lutheran, Trinity Lutheran, Auburndale, and Spencer participated. As a “thank-you” for participating, each school’s art program received a $125 VISA gift card.
“Our aim with this initiative was to spread joy to both our members and local children while also promoting financial literacy,” said Tiffany Schara, Business Development Specialist. “We saw this as a fun opportunity to support arts in the classroom at the same time. The members also really enjoy seeing the creativity from the local elementary children!”
During CU Youth Month in April, MMCCU supplied art classes with blank teller envelopes. The students decorated these envelopes and returned them to MMCCU.
“We have some really creative local kids! I’m excited to hand these out to members,” said Schara. “We have a Kids Rewards Club youth savings account and Greenlight Debit Card for kids option, so we look forward to continuing financial education for local youth.”
MMCCU is independent and not affiliated with any specific medical facility. Membership is composed of people that work in medical-related fields, and their families. This means anyone from doctors to chiropractors to veterinary technicians, and much more are part of this exclusive membership group. If you get a paycheck from a medical-related business, chances are good you qualify – even if you don’t specifically do a medical job, such as custodian or receptionist.
