This month, Wayne Elementary is taking financial literacy to new heights through the innovative FAME Invest in ME campaign! Principal Jacobs is leading the charge by bringing interactive read-alouds to every classroom, transforming financial education into an engaging and accessible adventure for our students.
Through dynamic discussions, children are exploring critical concepts like distinguishing between needs and wants, and discovering the fascinating world of diverse and extraordinary careers. Each student receives their own copy of the read-aloud book, extending the learning beyond the classroom and inviting families to join in the financial literacy conversation (seen here is our grade one classroom with their book, A Bike Like Sergio’s).
By bridging education and real-world skills, Wayne Elementary is nurturing a generation of informed, confident future financial decision-makers. Stay tuned to see how our young learners are growing their financial knowledge!
