Teach Children to Save Day is a national event developed by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation.With the cooperation of Local and National Banks, bank representatives schedule a meeting with local school administrators to introduce the concept of saving to middle and high school students.
Last year, more than 200 bankers from sponsoring banks visited students in 400+ classrooms in New York State. The bankers conducted a 45-minute literacy-based lesson that focuses on the topic of saving and investing. There is no charge for teachers or students to participate in Teach Children to Save Day; however, classroom visits may be limited. We will match classrooms on a first-come, first-serve basis. Maximum class size for a visit is 30 students. Teachers are required to remain in the classroom during the banker visit. The banker will bring the handouts and materials needed for the lesson.
I cannot confirm if KHS is participating in this program this year.
Ulster Savings Bank on Wall Street in Kingston will host a raffle to honor the American Bankers Association Education Foundation’s national “Teach Children to Save Day” on Tuesday, April 29th.The raffle prize winner will receive a $500 savings bond from Ulster Savings Bank in recognition of this special day.

It's nice to reserve a day once a year topush our kids to understand banking and investment, but well-to-do families tend to instill these values in their kids from the start.
The have-nots are scrapping for food, clothing and a roof over their head.
We need jobs in the area.
