HAEFCU Ca$h for the Classroom

​This credit union has just awarded two local teachers with some cash so they can purchase a few extras for their classrooms. 

Huron Area Education Federal Credit Union Board and staff consists of current and former school employees, or have family members who are, so they understand the needs that our school employees have in purchasing “extras” for their classroom.

To help fulfill those needs for their members, HAEFCU started the “Cash for the Classroom” program nine years ago. The program has been able to help 40 educators over the years.

Two credit union members each won $200 to purchase supplies for their classroom this fall. Congratulations to:

• Michelle Vissia – 5th grade Special Services teacher at Washington 4-5 Center in Huron; and
• Stacey Westby – 3rd grade Special Services teacher at Madsion 2-3 Center in Huron.

​The credit union holds this drawing twice a year and the next drawing will be spring 2024. Educators in the counties of Beadle, Hand, Kingsbury, Sanborn and Spink who are members of the credit union are eligible and encouraged to contact HAEFCU and fill out a short application for their chance to get extra “Ca$h for the Classroom.”
