A very different kind of lemonade stand on June 24

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 13, 2011 - 6:16pm

First National Bank has been actively involved in providing financial education to youth in area schools.

Students are taught the importance of saving, the differences between wants and needs, and about understanding the value of money.

In 2010, the bank started a "Young Entrepreneurs" program that specifically focused on encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, personal responsibility, and creativity.

This year, the bank has continued delivering that message and encouraging students to take ownership of the things they want by earning their own money.
