Over 90 students and 64 parents attended a virtual Family Financial Fun Night on May 6th, 2021. Students and their parents came together for a fun evening to learn about the importance of personal finance.  The event creates an open dialogue about topics such as savings, spending, debt, and budgeting that are often not talked about at the dinner table. Comments from parents:

"More events like this frequently. We really enjoyed the family engagement."
"I really enjoyed the event. I just hope it's not a one time event."
"It was a fun way to introduce children to financial literacy."
"Great financial info for families and teachers."
