The first graders from Gladstone Area Schools took a field trip to The Upper Peninsula State Bank. They learned how money is counted, where it is stored, and how secure a bank is for safety. They loved going into the vault, eating a treat in the boardroom, and smiling for every security camera. Holding the money bags are Michael and Meagan Stier.
