April is recognized nationally as both Community Banking Month and Financial Literacy Month. Through participating in JAG-K Month with the KBA, students were introduced to the tools made available to them by financial institutions. “The Kansas Bankers Association focuses on promoting financial literacy among students because it is vital for a stable and healthy economic future,” said Alex Orel, senior vice president of government relations at the KBA. “By equipping students with essential financial knowledge and skills, the banking industry can help them make informed decisions about their finances, contributing to personal growth and community development.” JAG-K programs across the state visited banking institutions or met in their classrooms with representatives of banks. The program at Royal Valley High School hosted Trevor Bausch, vice president of Denison State Bank. Denison State Bank in Holton with Liberty Homeschool Fellowship. Pamela Szuba, AVP & Branch Manager with Equity Bank in Topeka at Highland Park High School. Trevor Bausch, AVP & Loan Officer with Denison State Bank in Holton with Royal Valley High School.
