Greenwood student wins national contest
Luke Wiley, a 17-year-old student from Greenwood, is the national winner of the American Bankers Association Foundation’s Lights, Camera, Save! video contest.
Lights, Camera, Save!, which launched in 2010, is a unique national competition that encourages kids to use video to communicate the value of saving and motivate their peers.
Wiley’s video—chosen by a panel of personal finance and communications experts— is a cautionary tale about the importance of saving. In the film, Wiley is visited by future versions of himself at different ages, encouraging him to hold off on buying unnecessary items now and instead saving for life’s inevitable curveballs. Wiley was named a national finalist after winning the local contest at Security Federal Savings Bank in Logansport.
2 local high school programs win awards
Two local high school programs were given the Indiana Department of Education Award for Excellence for their Career and Technical Program.
Whiteland Community High School was awarded for their agricultural program. Center Grove High School’s counseling department also won.
