Today, Dudley Elementary made HISTORY as we filled the PAC with all K-6th students for a Ribbon Cutting ceremony to open our very own Swede Branch of Flatwater Bank. Our assembly was energy packed and attended by Luke Rickertsen, Flatwater President & Mayor Will Rahjes. Our students are blessed to have this opportunity to save their $$$ and create great habits for their future. Our Swede Branch will be supported by Amber Burge & Sabrina Bryant with Flatwater along with our 16 bank tellers who are current 6th graders at Dudley Elementary. We will share more photos soon!
