Greetings, District 6!
I hope you had a wonderful spring break, and return rested and ready for the final stretch of the 2024-2025 school year. With the end in sight, I encourage each and every one of you to be proud of all you have accomplished this year. You have what it takes to cross the finish line.
April is here, and with it comes Financial Literacy Month — a great reminder to brush up on those money skills that can really make a difference. Financial literacy is something everyone needs, no matter where they are in life, but it feels especially relevant for our seniors as they prepare to walk across that graduation stage and step into their next chapter.
In fact, a quote from Nelson Mandela comes to mind: “money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.” It’s one thing to know about budgeting, balancing a checkbook, or building a savings account — but it’s another to actually know how to use those skills in real life.
The first step toward financial freedom is just knowing where to start. And once you do, it can open so many doors and possibilities. So, during Financial Literacy Month, I encourage you to take a moment to explore some of the resources and tools out there. It’s truly an investment in yourself and your future!
