One-of-a-Kind Experience
At Saint Andrew Catholic School, students experience real-world banking each Wednesday by depositing money into actual accounts at our student-run branch of the First National Bank & Trust of Newtown.
Saint Andrew Catholic School is one of the only elementary schools in the Commonwealth with a such a bank.
Seventh and eighth grade students apply, interview, and train as tellers for the school year, gaining finance and customer service experience. They interact with other students at that bank, making it an tangible learning experience for all.A Banker of the Week is awarded by the administration. Students are honored in the daily announcements and receive a gift to encourage saving and working towards financial goals.
