(above) First grade students at Combre Fondel Elementary in Lake Charles had a great time learning basic banking skills with JD Bank Branch Manager Kayla Robinson and Commercial Lender Kyle Mestayer as part of Junior Achievement's JA in a Day program. 

(above) BOM’s Ringgold location visited Ringgold High School for three financial literacy classes. They spoke to students about why money matters and the importance of financial wellness.

(above) Bank of Zachary partnered with Central Private in an effort to introduce financial education to the students in a very unique and hands-on way—by opening an actual student-led, in-school branch that will serve students, staff and families of the school. A ribbon cutting was held in celebration of completing the construction phase of the project and there will be a branch grand opening held in the fall.
