We are excited to announce Astra Bank in Chapman recently presented a check with proceeds from this program to USD 473, home of the Fighting Irish!

It’s an understatement to say that teachers had a few extra challenges this past school year. Being a teacher is an already demanding profession and the changes to school life brought about by COVID-19 put extra stress upon the shoulders of our important educators.

Astra Bank proudly supports local schools through our School Spirit Debit Card Program. This program allows customers to support the school they love by getting their very own school spirit debit card and Astra Bank will donate a portion of every transaction to their school.

Our ultimate goal at Astra Bank is to help others fulfill their dreams by providing dependable financial advice and service to our customers and communities. One of the ways we hope to accomplish this important mission is through supporting our schools. Astra Bank’s School Spirit Debit Card program is devoted to giving back to our communities through supporting our youth’s education.

Education contributes to a flourishing community, but there are many challenges involved. For teachers, that challenge comes in the form of having enough school supplies in their classrooms to effectively teach. Budgets are tight and that means that teachers are often lacking in the supplies they need.
