Other prize-drawing winners were Hunter Joseph, 5, of Minetto Elementary School and Megan DeLong, 12, of Oswego Middle School, who both won free Oswego Cinema movie passes. Also winning Visa gift cards were Caitlyn Colasurdo, 6, of Trinity Catholic School, and Mitchell Treasure, 7, of Riley Elementary School. Compass also held an in-house contest to see who could guess the number of pennies in a tall, tubular container. The winners of those contests were Nate Distin, 13, who won the pennies ($26.50), and Terrie Woods, an adult member of Compass, who won a $50 Visa card.
Compass sponsors in-school savings programs in six Oswego elementary schools and at Oswego Middle School.
