Belmont Savings Bank Teaches Students About Marketing

Alicia Jordan, Marketing Manager, and Pam McKim, Vice President of Business Management at Belmont Savings Bank, recently visited Mrs. Alexander’s 8th grade classroom to share their expertise in marketing and budgeting. Their presentation helped students connect classroom concepts to the real world as they work on an exciting project: launching a professional sports team in St. Clairsville. As part of the project, students are creating a unique team brand, developing a marketing strategy, designing merchandise using AI tools, learning how to make a pitch, and focusing on positive customer experience.

Students Getting Their Steps In

Ms. Jamie's class decided to get moving at the beginning of January. Each day Ms. Jamie, Ms. Amy, Ms. Michelle, and all of their students put on their pedometers and get moving. The students and staff keep track of their steps each day and total them each week.

The class' goal is to walk from the Jersey Shore to the Santa Monica Pier. For the class to reach their goal, they will need to walk 6,986,000 steps.

Currently, the class has walked 3,004,000 steps, walking across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. This is 45% of the class' goal.

The class will continue keeping track of their steps for the remainder of this school year and going into the next school year.
