Middle School Programs

Middle School students become knowledgeable consumers and regular savers through our Money in the Middle program. Students learn:
  • Financial literacy, which includes terminology, savings, goal setting and loans
  • The importance of investing money wisely
  • The benefits of using Extra Credit Union products and services
  • Hands-on work experience and interviewing skills for students who oversee the operations Credit Union Day, which is student-run 

The 6th, 7th and 8th grade students run this program, supervised by a credit union employee. The students:

  • Fill out a job application 
  • Interview for their desired position
  • Train as tellers, bookkeepers and computer operators

To encourage saving:

  • Each student who opens an account receives a punch card with 20 spots
  • Each deposit gets one punch
  • After 10 deposits, the student can choose a prize
  • The school receives $1 for each new account opened during the school year
