Save Program

May 2,
2013 - Employees of Farmers
& Merchants Bank & Trust volunteered their time to visit
classrooms in our area as part of the National Teach Children To
Save program, sponsored by the Wisconsin Bankers Association and
the American Bankers Association Education Foundation. April 23
was National Teach Children To Save Day.
"We participate in this program because we hope to make a difference in the lives of children," said Kay Carlson, coordinator of Bankers Promoting Financial Literacy at FMBT. "Hopefully, we are planting a seed that kids will continue to sow throughout the years. We hope they take a portion of what they learn from our program and apply it to different aspects of their daily lives."
This year, FMBT expanded their reach to schools in the Crivitz and Peshtigo area. The Teach Children To Save campaign kicked off on Monday, April 15 when Carlson, Tammy Billock, Deb Atwood and Kate Saylor gave presentations to kindergarten and first grade students at Crivitz Elementary School and Central Elementary School in Menominee.
They and fellow bank employees Jenny England, Yvonne Erickson, Laura Figas, Tricia Hurley, Nicole Johnson, Mary Kornusky, Laura McMahon, Kathy Phillips, Mike Piasecki, Lorraine Porte, Julie VandeWalle and Mary Wilde gave 72 presentations to over 1,380 area children during the past two weeks...more than any other local financial institution!
In addition to Crivitz Elementary and Central Elementary, they also visited Garfield, Merryman and Park elementary schools in Marinette, Blesch Intermediate School, Menominee High School and Menominee Catholic Central in Menominee and the Peshtigo Elementary Learning Center in Peshtigo.
The bankers use their experience to inspire students to become life-long savers. They teach children how to spend money wisely and discuss the differences between needs and wants.
Since its inception 17 years ago, the Teach Children to Save program has reached more than 5 million students nationwide with the help of over 123,000 bankers.
