Members of Management from the Bank's five branches visited classrooms throughout the day.  The highlight of each visit was an interactive lesson built around the Judith Viorst book, Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday. Students witnessed the danger of unharnessed power of spending by using a penny chain representing one dollar and through this lesson, CCB bankers helped the students learn the concept of saving. 

"We are happy to be in our local schools and sponsor a program that helps students learn basic money management skills," said Thomas C. Manson, President and CEO of CCB. "As a community bank, we have a responsibility to our young people to guide them, beginning at a young age, toward smart financial decisions for their future.  We take this responsibility seriously, and we are committed to the financial education of our area children."
