Getting Smart about Money

Today I talked with Clarissa Rodriguez at Security Service Federal Credit Union. She and I will be hosting a webinar next week on financial literacy for the classroom based on the PBS Series, BizKid$. She was telling me how critical it is to help young people know basic financial skills. It surprises her how many college-age kids don't even know how to write checks because all they have ever done is swipe ATM cards!

We are going to go over this and a lot more on April 20 and 22nd. If you are classroom teacher and want to join us, go to www.klrn.org/bizkids to register.
