Easter Excitement and National nerves!

Come in super €uro's come in!,
Hi everyone so its the easter holidays and while everyone is relaxing in the rare Irish sun, we the Super euro team are busy busy busy getting ready for nationals in just under 2 weeks! (AHHH). Everyone loves Easter time so we took it as the perfect opportunity to promote great savings about the bank and also create fun easter themed activities for  our  bank members.
One of our first promotions was the Best banker awards. This was to acknowledge those in the bank who save every week with us and to reward them for their great  participation in the bank activities. After all we wouldn't have the school bank without them. We went around each classroom and surprised each super euro best banker with an easter egg.
Our second promotion was our Super Euro Jar Guesser. In this promotions we placed 104 easter mini eggs into a jar and every time someone lodged an amount over 2 euro they received a free guess into the competition. Our winner was Rebekah. She  won the jar of chocolate eggs. Super well done to rebekah! :D
Smiles all round as rebekah receives her prize!
Our final Promotion was a Super euro chocolate tasting competition! The first 30 student who lodged 2 euro or more into the bank were entered into the competition. As they stood  excitedly outside the Super Euro layer  waiting to be called each girl was tested to the full on how much they really know their chocolate :P  Blind folded we really bonded with our bankers as we all used team work in this competition. Out of 30 students we had 5 winners  who really proved their super powers in telling yorkies from caburys. Never again will chocolate be mixed up while these ladies are around. Each winner went home with a really yummy easter egg as their prize.

So as  we said earlier the nationals are in just under 2 weeks. We are very excited to see all the ideas and themes from other school banks around ireland but we are also very nervous about the competition. We have been putting blood sweat and tears into every detail of the bank. We really couldnt do all this work without our great school community and we mean when we say, Were banking on you. Wish  us luck on the final length of our journey and we will always remember this incredible journey so far.
