Financial Education

Ongoing financial education is essential for our youth as they become increasingly more financially responsible. As children graduate from piggy banks to savings accounts, from savings accounts to checking accounts, the amount of responsibility becomes greater and so does the ability to spend the savings!

To further support financial education efforts provided by local school districts and caregivers, we have included the Money Talks newsletter series (provided by the ABA Education Foundation), which contains tips, practical advice, thought-provoking ideas and age-appropriate activities to bring money lessons alive for young children, tweens, teens and young adults. This newsletter is designed for parents, grandparents and other caring adults to help them teach children and young adults about money.

The following issues of Money Talks are available. Please download to read these newsletters, and ask us if you have any questions.
