Our kids, our future

We are proud to celebrate the next generation that will shape our neighborhoods, schools and communities for years to come. Take a look at these delightful young students who begin their school journey with excitement, curiosity and endless potential.
with
The kindergarten years are filled with important firsts — first classrooms, first friendships, first lessons and unforgettable memories. This special K-Kids commemorative section captures a moment in time that families will treasure in the years ahead as these children grow, learn and discover who they are — on their way to adulthood.




CUSTOMIZED BANKING FOR YOUNG ACHIEVERS
Helping children save is a really big deal to us, and we’re here to make it as simple as possible.
Our Youth Savings account is a great way for children to save and learn about managing their money early on.
For as little as a penny, children can open either a passbook or statement savings account.


Within these pages, you’ll find smiling faces, joyful personalities and the enthusiasm that makes our community so special. We are sure parents, grandparents, teachers and loved ones will treasure this opportunity to recognize and celebrate these remarkable children as they begin an exciting new chapter.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the superintendents, principals, teachers and school staff whose dedication, encouragement and support help every child thrive. Their commitment to education and to our community makes K-Kids possible.
The Herald is honored to celebrate this year’s kindergarten class and share in the excitement of this milestone with our readers. Congratulations to the Class of 2038 — your future is just beginning!
