First Clover Leaf Bank prides itself in supporting the community in many ways.
Teaching children the importance of learning basic banking transactions in a fun and exciting way is now possible with the new bank/postal exhibit. Children can withdrawal and deposit �Star City Bucks,� mail a letter, purchase items in the market or visit the medical center.

The Star City Community includes the following exhibits: a market, medical center, airline, TV station, police and fire department, library, bank and post office. Lisa Leehy, Children�s Museum executive director, says �This city was created to provide a new learning environment for toddlers through 12 year olds. The goal of Star City is to make children aware of the interdependence on one another in our communities.� While role playing within the community, visitors are exposed to language, math, science, social science and health. Within the Star City Community the bank and post office will teach children the importance of banking transactions and post office functions.
