According to an article I just read on the website for Bautista Creek Elementary School, here in sunny Hemet California, they will be offering a savings program for their students (approximately 950 to be almost exact).
The program, sponsored by Altura Credit Union, will be called My Money -- My School Savings. What a cool thing. I remember, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and I was in elementary school, we used to take a nickel for milk, and we also took money each week for our savings account. We had the same type of program, I believe, with the local bank. It was great. We got our own little green passbook, (wow, am I dating myself or what?). And we watched our savings grow.
Altura Credit Union, in conjuction with the administration at Bautista Creek Elementary School, will hold a meeting for the parents and students in the first month of school, and then each month, will come to the school and rally with the students to save money. They may make their deposits directly at any branch of Altura Credit Union, OR, make their deposits on the day the folks from Altura Credit Union come to school.
This is a great program for our kids. Learning how to save money is NOT a bad thing.
