As State Treasurer, I am pleased to introduce my new Save@School program which has been designed to introduce students to the concepts of money management and has stirred excitement from educators and students all over the state.
Save@School is a special program that joins the State Treasurer's office, local financial institutions and schools with the common goal of educating children so that they become educated consumers who will make responsible financial decisions in the future. Participants open savings accounts and make deposits to their accounts on scheduled savings days at their school. The students learn the importance of savings through hands-on experience and classroom exercises with the guidance of an employee of the financial institution and the curriculum provided by the State Treasurer's office.
I would like to thank everyone for their interest in Save@School, especially those who have contributed so much of their time. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you again for your continued support.
