HURON — With a board and staff that consists of current or former school employees, Huron Area Education Federal Credit Union understands the challenges teachers face.

This insight led to the start of the “Ca$h for the Classroom” program. This spring, Eva Barnes and Laura Beck, both credit union members, each received $200 to buy supplies for their classrooms. Barnes works as a SPED Para Educator at Buchanan K-1 Center, while Beck serves as the Band Director at Washington 4-5 Center.

The credit union holds this drawing twice a year and the next drawing will be this fall. 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.
