It’s Movin’ Up Monday! Today, we honor Fred Barstow on his recent promotion to Personal Banker at NSB’s Bridgton branch! Fred started at the bank in April of 2023 and most recently served as Customer Relations Representative II. He quickly became known for his amazing customer service in helping customers meet their financial needs. The Perry native was drawn to Norway Savings by its reputation as “a pillar of the community.” When he’s not working, Fred utilizes his creativity as a published author of two novels and many short stories. Thank you so much for your contributions to NSB, Fred, and congrats on the promotion! #MovinUpMonday #ForTheLifeYouChoose #ACareerToMatch

It has become a labor of love and a beloved tradition at Great Falls Elementary School in Gorham. A time in which the entire school, over 500 students spanning kindergarten to fifth grade as well as the staff, read the same book or author at the same time to build community and express a collective love for reading. The benefits are numerous, and NSB is so thrilled to be supporting the “One School, One Book” program once again! Learn more about this initiative’s impact and purpose: https://ow.ly/zzbE50U60u4.
