Stephanie and Matthew at Muskego High.

Muskego branch manager Stephanie Bluemel and personal banker Matthew Cieslak represented North Shore Bank at a career fair at Muskego High earlier this month. They spoke to a rotation of four classrooms of students interested in banking and financial services.

“It was a very good time!” Matthew said. “We presented what it was like to work at North Shore Bank and what our roles were. We also discussed how we found ourselves in the careers we are in. We definitely feel that we will be doing it again next year.”

Green Bay West’s Giving Tree, surrounded by gifts.

As the branch has done in years past, Green Bay West adopted a family for the holidays and put up a Giving Tree, which was covered with tags marked with items the parents and three children needed or wanted. Branch employees and customers took the tags and purchased the items. “The gifts ranged from items like Legos, action figures, craft kits, and a ukulele to silverware, pots and pans, paper products, and laundry detergent,” assistant branch manager Hali Thompson said. “Once again, we were so happy with the response from our customers and staff. We hope we were able to make this family’s holidays a little bit brighter.”
