Wayne Bank Donates to Pocono Mountains United Way Supporting Local STEAM*R Program

Jim Donnelly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wayne Bank, is pleased to announce that Wayne Bank has recently contributed to the East Stroudsburg Area School District’s STEAM*R Summer Enrichment Program through the Pocono Mountains United Way and the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC).

With its invaluable STEAM*R Program, the East Stroudsburg Area School District provides students at Resica Elementary with the opportunity to foster their interest and proficiency in science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics, and reading. The program is free for current East Stroudsburg Area School District students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.

Stacie Ammerman, Resica Elementary School’s STEAM*R Coordinator, and Dr. Tabitha Bradley, Resica’s Director of Elementary Education, accepted a check in the amount of $5,000 from Mr. Donnelly. With this donation, Wayne Bank helps to make the STEAM*R program possible, contributing to an investment in education to shape the future of the community by empowering young minds to innovate, create, and excel.

“Wayne Bank is honored to contribute to the United Way of the Pocono Mountains and the incredible work they do,” said Mr. Donnelly. “It’s rewarding to know that this donation will help provide essential support to Monroe County families, allowing students to develop early on skills and interest in education.”

The gift was made possible because of the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program offered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of Community and Economic Development.
