(Benton, KY)-Discover Financial Services, the debit card brand of CFSB is “paying it forward” to the students of Marshall County High School. Discover, a proud new member of the community has partnered with Balfour and Marshall County High School to purchase yearbooks for every student, faculty, and staff member of the school. Each book will be personalized with the scholar’s name and an icon, a symbol that represents his/her individual personality.
“We want to get to know this tight-knit community and be part of it,” said Dave Schneider, President of PULSE and Senior Vice President of Debit Strategy for Discover. “That level of personal service is what we do. We really believe in committing dedicated resources that will make a difference in the communities that we serve.”
Jason Jones, CFSB Market President of Marshall County said, “When Discover approached us with the idea of paying for these books for everyone at MCHS, we were overwhelmed. While these students are learning a new normal following the tragedy on January 23rd, the outpouring of love and support from locals as well as from people around the country has been such a blessing to witness. Discover cares about our community, a place that they now call as part of their home, too.”
As many students have already paid for their 2018 yearbook, their funds will be returned in full. “We stand with the wonderful people of Marshall County and our prayers are with each of them during this difficult time,” said Steve Seivert, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Discover. Marshall County High School Principal Patricia Greer said, “We are so thankful to live in a community that cares so much for our students as well as our teachers and staff. On behalf of all of those who call MCHS home, we are very appreciative of these gifts of kindness and goodwill.”
The yearbooks will be shipped to MCHS in early-May.
