 Getting Started
Contact the Treasurer's office at: (785) 296-0645. Each school is matched with a local financial institution and a representative will meet with school officials to schedule savings days. A parent or guardian's signature is needed to open an account.
Classroom Instruction
Lessons are taught by the financial institution representative and/or teachers at the school. The State Treasurer's office provides lesson plans and basic educational materials. Financial institution representatives are encouraged to host field trips to their workplace.
Savings Day
Savings accounts earn interest and transactions are verified by a financial institution representative. Account holders will track their savings through monthly statements.
Student Participation
Students participating in classroom instruction are encouraged to open savings accounts but are not required to do so.
