Emily's 2nd Quarter Report Card

Emily's 1st Bank Account

On Friday afternoon, January 22nd, I took Emily to Greenville First to open her first bank account. The excitement had been building for her and she was pleasantly surprised by the big fan fair the Bank made for her. When we arrived, everyone knew who she was and being Emily, she asked "how do you know my name"? In a very cute, and shocked way =) She had been saving her coins and bills for a while, so Mr. Eddie and Mrs. Allison helped her roll all of her change. (I had discussed us bringing it that way, but Emily really wanted to bring her bank as it was.) Once they had rolled all her change ($67), I had prommised her that I would match everything she had in her bank so I wrote her a check to go with her coins and bills. Afterwards she proceeded to Mrs. Liz's office where she signed all of her important papers. Mrs. Allison then proceeded to take Emily to the Pineapple Stool where she could give her money to the teller. After getting her official receipt and sticker, she then proceeded with Mrs. Allison to the "Treasure Box" where she where she was able to use the key to open it and pick out her prize.

It was a great experience that left Emily wanting to go back to the Bank all the time =)
