WaMu School Savings Program at KES

CRAZE TO SAVE!

Kennesaw Elementary PTSA in conjunction with Washington Mutual Bank provides an outstanding opportunity for your child to learn the life long lesson of saving money.

Instilling good saving habits in your child now will teach them to become “life long savers” and empower them in adulthood to be financially responsible.

KES Washington Mutual Bank will be open for business on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each school month. The Washington Mutual banking days are designated as WaMu days on the school calendar. The bank will be accepting applications for savings accounts and deposits before school starts in the media room every WaMu day. The first WaMu Day for the school calendar year 2008/2009 will be August 27th, 2008.

Washington Mutual will deposit a $0.25 into your child’s savings account to get them started on the road to finical freedom. Your child will be rewarded with prizes for exhibiting good saving habits in addition to seeing their money grow.
