We’re thrilled to share our recent involvement at Dr. Carrie D. Robinson Littleton Elementary School! ?? Synovus Bank Lehigh Acres staff, led by the dedicated Barbara Morejon, guided second-grade students through the JA Our Community program. Over the course of several weeks, students explored how their community works, learned about various jobs, and discovered how to be active and responsible community members. We look forward to wrapping up our final sessions. Thank you to our incredible volunteers for making this learning experience possible! #JAOurCommunity #EmpoweringYouth #CommunityEngagement #SynovusBank #EducationMatters
