Montville, NJ – On Saturday, May 22nd, Kearny Federal Savings Bank was a proud supporter of the TREP$ marketplace at the Cedar Hill Elementary School. TREP$ is an entrepreneurship educational program that teaches students the basics of business ownership. Over 60 fourth and fifth grade students enrolled in a series of six after-school workshops at Cedar Hill where they received instruction and were guided through various creative exercises to understand the skills associated with entrepreneurship, as well as team dynamics. At the end of the program, the students showed off their products and launched their first business at the TREP$ marketplace.
Kearny Federal Savings, located at 339 Main Road (Route 202), had a display table at the entrance of the TREP$ marketplace where Branch Manager Kim Taylor handed out financial literature and was able to answer any questions about saving for a business. The Bank understands the importance of savings as an instrumental part of entrepreneurship and portrayed that message with their presence at the marketplace. Gifts were also handed to all new “business owners” and attendees.
Kearny Federal Savings Bank, a federally-chartered stock savings bank, has supported the communities it serves since 1884. The Bank has assets in excess of $2 billion and operates 27 full-service banking offices in Bergen, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Middlesex, Essex, Union and Ocean counties.
