Creston School teams with Holcomb State Bank to take part is a state-wide program called Bank at School. Through this program, students learn the value of saving for the future and money management.

Bank At School also gives students a fun and exciting way to learn by doing. On "Bank at School Day," held on the 3rd Thursday of each month, students can open new accounts, make deposits and experience the thrill of watching their savings grow!

At Creston School, the Bank at School curriculum is designated for the 7th Grade. Representatives from Holcomb Bank teach the curriculum to the students. They learn about many different financial concepts such as the history of money, interest, economics as a life-skill, etc.
