My Project

Our school is reading books related to the economic concepts of earning, saving, and spending money. The books requested feature diverse characters and engaging experiences that will help our students learn about money. These books help students think about what happens when we earn and spend money with relatable characters and situations that help students think about the choices they make with money. These books will be included in our school library collection for all students to borrow and read in the school. Your donation will impact over 200 students!
