Juliano presented a program on bank accounts, writing checks, and keeping a check register. She stressed the importance of keeping your own up to date records. During the presentation, students made out sample checks and calculated a check register. According to Related Arts Teacher Sheela Corry, who organized the event, “It was reinforcement of what they had been doing in the money management unit of Family and Consumer Science class.”

Juliano also presented the opportunities for employment and advancement in working in banking. She explained how students can start as tellers as young as 17-years old and work their way up in the bank. She also told students of the bank’s policy of tuition reimbursement for college business courses. As part of the presentation, each student will also receive a $10 voucher for opening an account at Commerce to encourage students to start saving for the future.

“This was one of the best programs we have had so far for both money management and employment opportunities for students,”commented Corry.
