1st Security Bank hace una donación a Yaquina View Elementary /1st Security Bank Makes Donation to Yaquina View Elementary

Posted on August 29, 2023

¡Gracias a 1st Security Bank en Newport y sus clientes por la generosa donación a Yaquina View Elementary School! Dos cajas grandes de útiles escolares y un cheque de $751.40 – $500 del banco y $251.40 de los clientes del banco – fueron entregados el jueves por la mañana a la Directora Kristin Becker y al Subdirector Darryl Coppedge por la gerente de la sucursal del 1st Security Bank, Melony Heim.

El dinero irá a una cuenta del cuerpo estudiantil que se puede acceder según sea necesario para los suministros de los estudiantes. “Tenemos una despensa que tiene alimentos estables para las cajas de donación de alimentos, así como útiles escolares, mochilas, etc para nosotros para dar a las familias, ya que comunicar una necesidad para nosotros”, dijo el director Becker.

Aparte del dinero donado a YVES en memoria de la madre del ex director de Newport High School Jon Zagel cuando ella falleció hace varios años, esta es la mayor donación en efectivo que la escuela ha recibido para poner en su cuenta del cuerpo estudiantil designado para apoyar a los estudiantes y las familias. La cuenta del alumnado sigue creciendo con aportaciones como la del banco. En años anteriores, NHS Boosters proporcionó a YVES tarjetas regalo que sumaron miles de dólares durante la pandemia para entregar a las familias que sufrían inseguridad alimentaria. Unos cuantos benefactores anónimos entregan anualmente en diciembre tarjetas regalo a la escuela para las familias que necesitan alimentos u otros bienes durante las largas vacaciones de invierno. YVES también facilita un árbol de regalos virtual en invierno, en el que las familias rellenan una encuesta si tienen tarjetas de regalo.

Thank you to 1st Security Bank in Newport and their customers for the generous donation to Yaquina View Elementary School! Two large boxes of school supplies and a $751.40 check – $500 from the bank and $251.40 from bank patrons – were presented August 24, 2023 to Principal Kristin Becker and Assistant Principal Darryl Coppedge by 1st Security Bank branch manager Melony Heim.

The money will go into a student body account that can be accessed as needed for student supplies. “We have a pantry that has shelf stable food for food donation boxes as well as school supplies, backpacks, etc. for us to give to families as they communicate a need to us,” Principal Becker said.

Aside from the money donated to YVES in memory of former Newport High School Principal Jon Zagel’s mom when she passed away several years ago, this is the single largest cash donation the school has received to put in their student body account designated for supporting students and families. The student body account continues to grow with contributions such as the one from the bank. In previous years, NHS Boosters provided YVES with gift cards that totaled thousands of dollars during the pandemic to give to families who were experiencing food insecurity. A few anonymous benefactors give the school gift cards annually in December for families who need food or other goods during the long winter break. YVES also facilitates a virtual giving tree in the winter where families complete a survey if they have gift giving needs and/or food needs around the winter holiday time. School families, staff, and community members “adopt” a YV child from this survey and fill their wishlists.

Becker said she is humbled by the support. “The bank’s donation is a reflection of the generous community we live in. This is my 9th year as the principal here and there has not been a year in this school where our community has not stepped up to care for us.”
