South Shore Charter School proudly celebrated the launch of its Bank-at-School Program in partnership with Peoples Alliance Federal Credit Union with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony! This milestone event, held on December 11th, featured our Founder and Executive Director, Dermoth Mattison, alongside Carol Allen, CEO of Peoples Alliance, and Jennifer Gunns, Director of Business Development & Community Affairs.
This exciting initiative gives scholars the opportunity to learn real-world financial skills by opening and managing their own savings accounts—right from school. The program is designed to teach the importance of saving and building healthy money habits that will last a lifetime.
During the ceremony, school leaders, representatives from Peoples Alliance Federal Credit Union, gathered to mark the beginning of this empowering program. Students will now have access to banking services on designated days, right here at South Shore Charter School, making it easier than ever to start saving for their future.
