As part of our community-focused high school debit card program, Astra Bank was proud to recently present USD #426 with a check for $502.77. This amount represents debit card purchases and transaction funds earned through the School Spirit Debit Card Campaign. The presentation took place on February 10th at Courtland Elementary & Junior High Gymnasium. Taking this recent contribution into consideration, to date the Astra Bank’s debit card program has raised over $1,000 that USD #426 can put to use for school supplies, programs and other educational activities for the students and faculty! “The program has been great. We use these funds directly for students and their activities such as student council, band and our library,” said Mike Gritten, Pike Valley Elementary/Junior High Principal.
