What’s the Good Word?
April 22 - 26, 2024 Ladysmith Federal celebrated National Teach Children to Save Day.
Kat and Carol spent some time with students at the Ladysmith, OLS, Flambeau, and Bruce Elementary Schools K-2nd grade classes.
They read the book "A Boy, a Budget, and a Dream" written by Jasmine Paul. The students learned about saving money, creating a plan, and sticking to it and discussed what they can do at home to earn money to help them work towards meeting their savings goals.
