Skowhegan Savings | Promise For The Future

Skowhegan Savings partnered with Bob Stuart, president of Yarmouth Educational Consultants, Inc., to lead workshops at the schools to answer student's questions about career paths, college selection, and the cost of higher education.

The goals of "Promise for the Future" are to ensure that all students know they can attend college, encourage them to explore their college opportunities before high school, to be an educational resource for students and parents of the communities served by the bank, and to promote communication between communities and their students about the opportunities a college education can create. Skowhegan Savings is proud to have offered "Promise for the Future" scholarships since 2001.

Week Twenty's Featured Students!

Alex Pratt

Alex Pratt is in Mrs. Rollins' 6th grade class at Quimby Middle School in Bingham. Existing video games are good, but Alex thinks they could be a lot better. Alex is good with electronics, but he wants to learn the inside of the video game systems and know how to build them. He has an idea for the XBox Flow, which will be able to play any game, anywhere, so you could play videos all the time. Alex hopes to attend DigiPen Institute of Technology. Alex does well in school, but his mother says he works extra hard in courses that will help him prepare for this career. Congratulations, Alex.

Kayla Begin

Kayla Begin is in Mrs.Gray-Clark's 3rd grade class at Williams Elementary School. When Kayla was little, she had five cats and a horse. These companions inspired her dreams of being a veterinarian. She has milked a cow, walked a sheep, brushed a goat, and fed horses. She's gone dog sledding and made ice cream in a chemistry laboratory at Colby College, so she has decided that she'd like to attend Colby and enroll in their Chemistry Track program. With straight A's on her recent report cards, Kayla is on the right track. Congratulations, Kayla.
