Wachovia Bank, N.A.
Nominated by Ethel Koger Beckham Elementary School
Reading, mathematics, character education and technology are
four areas Beckham Elementary wanted Dade Partners support.
Wachovia answered the call to provide the school with essential
activities to provide students with an enriched learning experience.
Over two hundred students have opened savings accounts through
the Beckham Bank which employs fifth grade students who gain
a thorough understanding of the financial field. A donation
of thirty computers by Wachovia allows all students in the school
to access educational software and the internet. Employees also
volunteer hours to chaperone field trips; adopt needy families
at the holidays; and read books donated by the bank to students
and community members. A partnership consists of equal concern
and attention. No matter when the school calls, Wachovia answers.
Their contribution of time, talents, and computers has enriched
the school’s curriculum and the students’ lives.
