STUDENTS TALK $$$ WITH PNC BANK
At Firewall, we are always striving for academic excellence and character development in our kids, and we believe in the significance of introducing practical life skills for success. So when PNC bank told us that they wanted to help our students and teach them how to save as well as the importance of money management, we were all for it!
