A regular school day turned into an unforgettable celebration for Lydia Coleman and her classmates when Belgrade State Bank made a surprise visit to the junior high school this week.
In a heartwarming gesture aimed at encouraging smart financial habits among young students, Belgrade State Bank gifted Lydia with a $500 deposit into her Cool Owl Club Savings Account. The surprise came during a special classroom gathering, where representatives from the bank delivered the exciting news in person.
To celebrate the occasion, the bank didn’t stop at the generous gift. They treated the entire class to a pizza party complete with soda and cupcakes, turning the event into a festive afternoon for everyone.
Belgrade State Bank has long been committed to community outreach and youth financial education. The Cool Owl Club is a special savings program designed for young savers, offering tools, incentives, and events that make learning about money fun and engaging.
As for Lydia, she’s got a head start on her future—and a story she’ll never forget.
