(Benton, KY)- Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB) partnered with Calvert City Elementary School to hatch and raise baby ducks. Earlier this year, Mrs. Becky Smith came to the Benton Banking Center to collect duck eggs from the CFSB pond to incubate for her kindergarten class. Smith stated, “When the opportunity to help raise a new generation of CFSB ducks arose, we were so excited! We’ve hatched chicks for several years, however, this was the first time for ducks. It not only ties in with our life science content, but also gives the students the opportunity to experience the life cycle first hand.” 
CFSB President/CEO Betsy Flynn commented, “The ducks at our pond have truly become family to us! It was a wonderful idea by Mrs. Smith to have those bright, young minds have the chance to see how those eggs turn into adorable baby ducks.” Once the seven ducks are large enough, they will rejoin the rest of the CFSB ducks in Benton. CFSB is proud to help with educational opportunities for the future of our communities.
