This is great program offered through Washington Mutual where kids learn how to save for the future. It is their own savings account where you can deposit (or withdraw money) at any time.

Student Banking will begin on Wed. Sept. 24th. There will be a table in front of the lunchroom from 8:15-8:35, every Wednesday morning prior to the 1st bell.

If you already have a savings account, simply have your child bring in their deposit. If you are new the school and/or would like to enroll this year, please pick up an application form the morning of student banking or we will send you one via “kid mail” in your child’s classroom. Washington Mutual gives kids prizes for every two deposits – they get very excited about this part!

If you have any other questions about the program or how to make deposits, please call Jan Avotins at (206) 363-7370 or e-mail javotins@comcast.net.
