Students Transform into Super Savers
In celebration of National Credit Union Youth Week, April 22-28, local school students participated in the 2012 ‘Be a Credit Union Super Saver’ Essay Contest, hosted by Sussex County Federal Credit Union. This year’s theme gave students inspiration to create a superhero that would use their special power to help people save money. The winning essays were submitted from Blades Elementary and DE New Tech Academy students, and selected because of their descriptive content, unique creativity and vivid design. The students took great pride and detail in receiving a Certificate of Excellence as well as earning a pizza party for their class!
Sussex County FCU used the week to bring added awareness to the power children can have by starting to save money at an early age and recognized its youngest members with refreshments and giveaways as well as contests to earn a $50 deposit to a youth savings account. |

Seaford High School Student Wins National Scholarship
Seaford Senior, Miss Orleana Bland, has been honored as a Smith Scholar. The Ken Smith Scholarship Fund and The Smith Scholars Program were established by the Jobs for America’s Graduates Board of Directors to recognize the extraordinary leadership and service of the President and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth M. Smith. The number of scholarships to be awarded each year is dependent on the donations to the Ken Smith Scholarship Fund. In 2012, ten scholarships are being awarded to deserving JAG graduates across the nation.
Orleana’s selection as a Smith Scholar is a first for Delaware’s program, Jobs for Delaware Graduates (JDG). The JDG program at Seaford High School is under the direction of Mrs. Desiree Moore and is focused on the mission of enabling students to achieve academic, career, personal and social success. Mrs. Moore is excited about the honor bestowed on Orleana and enthusiastically shared, “I am SO very proud of Orleana!” Dr. Susanna Lee, President of Jobs for Delaware Graduates, Inc., expressed her “sincere congratulations to Orleana for not only being selected as a Smith Scholar, but for being JDG’s FIRST Smith Scholar.” Orleana plans to attend Delaware State University after graduating from Seaford High School in June majoring in accounting. |
