The Talbot Bank, a member of Shore Bancshares community of companies, adopted Ms. Carrico’s kindergarten class at the Easton Elementary School for the 2013-2014 school year.
Throughout the year, Talbot Bank volunteers; Ryan Snow, Credit Analyst, and Laura Heikes, Senior Vice President and Branch Administration Officer, visited the class on many occasions providing fun and interactive financial lessons for the students. The children have learned the word income, what it means, and how to earn it. In addition, each child has been saving for special items that are important to them using their piggy bank provided by The Talbot Bank.
Recently, Mr. Snow read the students a book about bringing the money they have saved to the bank to safeguard it and gradually earn more.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the students in Ms. Carrico’s class,” said Laura Heikes. “We feel like we have really made an impact on the children and are excited to see their progress toward financial literacy at such a young age.”
