Midwest Bank of Plainview and Plainview Elementary School have teamed together to promote financial literacy for all elementary students. Every Tuesday morning we have our bank open for depositors to make deposits and encourage students to be consistent savers. Each month we offer incentives to the class with the most depositors and try to include community businesses to join our efforts in supporting and encouraging young children to save money. We offer prizes to depositors throughout the year as well. The bank is run by upper elementary and high school students. We celebrate the accomplishments for the year in May and present any graduating 6th graders with a check for their deposits over the years. This is our second year in business and our team is happy to share what it took to get started and things we learned along the way to make it better.
