Saving Makes Cents

Saving Makes "Cents" is a program for elementary school children, which focuses on the ABC's of money management. Local schools and banks work together to teach children basic monetary concepts, including how to open a savings account, the origin of money and basic budgeting skills. The State Treasurer's office provides an educational curriculum, which is taught by classroom teachers and bank representatives. A bank representative works with the teacher to establish opportunities for students to open savings accounts and make deposits right at their school.
