Tristan Simpson-Fordham of Kraft Elementary School wins in the Bayport National Credit Union Youth Month

Congratulations to Tristan Simpson-Fordham, a third grade student at Kraft Elementary School. He, along with five other elementary students around Hampton Roads, won a $100 savings deposit from BayPort Credit Union.

Every April, BayPort Credit Union participates in National Credit Union Youth Month. This year a drawing was held to give youth members the opportunity to add $100 to their savings account. To be eligible, the student had to be a BayPort member and complete a coloring sheet provided by the credit union. A student was randomly selected from each grade level PreK through five, across Hampton Roads.
