💰 Teaching Kids to Be Money Smart: This month, 3rd-grade students at Julian Thomas Elementary School and Mitchell School participated in a fun and practical financial education program led by the Racine Financial Empowerment Center. Students learned about budgeting, saving, spending wisely, and distinguishing between needs and wants.

The program will also be presented to Knapp Elementary School students in May.

Special thanks to our sponsors — the Hispanic Roundtable of Racine, Johnson Financial Group, North Shore Bank, Marine Credit Union, Educators Credit Union, and Landmark Credit Union — for helping empower Racine youth with real-world money skills! 💵👏
