New Banking Option at Galway Jr./Sr, High School

GALWAY — The Galway High School Business Department has announced that it will be partnering with First New York Federal Credit Union to bring banking to Galway Junior/Senior High School. 

Junior/Senior High School students can open either a Savings Account or an EZ Access Account, which is a VISA Debit Card for children ages 13-17. 

Students who already have accounts from their years in Joseph Henry Elementary School don’t have to open a new account; they can continue to deposit at the High School and earn points for the E-Way Café. 

Students can bring their deposits of $.25 – $10 to school every Tuesday either before school from 7:40 to 7:55 a.m. or during 3rd and 4th periods from 9:31 to 10:55 a.m. 

The banking program will be run by Junior/Senior High School Students Eric Zelezniak, Sakarah Gilboy, and Jack Ryan and overseen by Business Teacher Mrs. Shauna Sitts. 

Applications can be picked up at the E-Way Store on Mondays and Fridays. Students can also open up an account online at www.firstnewyork.org.
