Community Bank adopts local schools
Recently Community Bank Chief Executive Officer Tom Moran presented a $1000 check to Superintendent Mick Miller to launch a new Adopt-a-School program. Green Park and Blue Ridge Elementary Schools will both receive $500 to support students in financial need.

Funds may be used to assist students to purchase school lunches, classroom supplies, and any other items that would benefit them in their pursuit of an education. Selection of recipients of funds will be entirely at the discretion of teachers and/or counselors at the respective schools.

"We recognize that an investment in people and their education is a smart investment in the community," said Moran. "Community Bank wants to get more involved in the community and schools are a great place to start."

Community Bank identified Green Park and Blue Ridge based upon the significant percentage of students who participate in the free or reduced-priced school lunch program. Moran said the bank hopes this program is the start of a long and mutually beneficial relationship.
