Bank of Nevada Supports Educational Accomplishments of Arturo Cambeiro Elementary Students

Education has the power to transform the lives of students. That is especially true for children in elementary school where educational routines and habits are beginning to be established. 

For that reason, Bank of Nevada has long supported efforts that increase educational outcomes in local schools and prepare students for a successful future.

Recently, Bank of Nevada sponsored an event alongside the Las Vegas Raiders to help celebrate students' educational accomplishments at Arturo Cambeiro Elementary School.  

Standardized testing results show many Cambeiro students excelled at improving their math and reading skills. The student body was treated to an awards assembly ceremony to celebrate this accomplishment. Raider Alumnus Oren O'Neal, joined by the Raiderettes and Raider Rusher, also supported the educational achievements of Cambeiro students.

After the assembly, Bank of Nevada's Jerrie Merritt, current Raiders player Jalen Elliott and Teach for America Las Vegas representatives entered individual classrooms where they engaged students in STEM activities and reading circles to support literacy initiatives highlighted during Nevada Reading Week.

Arturo Camberio Elementary School Principal Chris Popek believes events that bring community members into the school are an excellent way to solidify the importance of education in children's minds.

"The enthusiasm our students displayed was a joy to see! The Raiders representatives read a book to students as other students engaged in a classroom STEM lesson activity. I know the students also enjoyed a former player sharing their experiences during the assembly," said Popek. "We are so appreciative of this experience provided to our students by the Raiders and with the support of Bank of Nevada!"
