Barrow to Visit with Gracewood Elementary 4th Graders, Present “Teach Children to Save” Program PDF Print

On Friday, April 30, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., Congressman John Barrow (GA-12) will meet with Mrs. Bennett’s, Mrs. Black’s, and Mrs. Sample’s 4th Grade classes to talk to their students about the importance of saving.  He will be presenting the “Teach Children to Save” program, along with representatives from Georgia Bank and Trust.

“There’s never been a better time to teach kids about saving,” said Barrow.  “It’s not only for when times are tough.  When you save for something you want, you enjoy it that much more.”

For 14 years the “Teach Children to Save” program, created by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation, has partnered banks with students for lessons on the importance of saving.  The program's goal is to encourage bankers to reach 5 million students before the end of 2011, the 15th anniversary of “Teach Children to Save.”
