Thanks to Tongass

Dear Editor: I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Tongass Federal Credit Union, both staff and volunteers, for hosting the Financial Reality Fair for Sitka High School seniors. This event provided a valuable, hands-on opportunity for our students to explore real-world financial scenarios, from budgeting and managing expenses to understanding credit and making informed financial decisions.

The Fair was both engaging and eye-opening, giving students a realistic glimpse into adult financial responsibilities in a fun and supportive environment. Events like this are incredibly important in preparing our students for life beyond high school, and we are grateful for the time, energy, and resources that Tongass Federal Credit Union dedicated to making it happen.

Thank you, again, for your commitment to financial education and for investing in the future of our students.

Laura Rogers, Interim Principal
