The Bank of Tioga launched its fifth year facilitating Junior Achievement at three local elementary schools with over 38 classrooms of grades K-8. Schools involved include Central Elementary in Tioga, Ray Elementary and Powers Lake Elementary.

This year, The Bank of Tioga has eight employees and several community members who volunteer their time to teach five lessons in their assigned classroom. The program began in January and will run through April.

Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs.
