Over $40K Donated Since Program Inception
During halftime of the February 13, 2025 Boys Basketball Varsity game, representatives from American Bank & Trust and the Wessington Springs School District gathered on the half court line for a Spartan Spirit card check presentation.
In response to the mounting budgetary needs of school districts, American Bank & Trust began giving back to communities through Spirit Cards. Bank customers use Spirit Card to make purchases and American Bank & Trust donates a percentage from each purchase back to the school district on the card. Since its inception, the program has donated $42,750 to Wessington Springs Schools.
