Walnut Elementary School Dreams Big with Sammy Rabbit

On March 2–3, 2015, Walnut Elementary School in Baldwin Park, California made history by hosting the first-ever Sammy Rabbit Dream Big Read Financial Education Experience—and what an inspiring experience it was!

The photos say it all: students from kindergarten through 5th grade dreamed big and discovered that building smart money habits can help make those dreams come true—including the dream of going to and graduating from college.

Through storytelling, songs, and hands-on activities, students learned valuable lessons about setting goals, saving money, and believing in themselves.

A Principal's Perspective

“The impact from Sammy Rabbit's Dream Big Day Experience was immediate. The focus on planning for the future fits our college and career focus but added the element of financial literacy. Students’ confidence in talking and thinking about their big dreams was evident in their DREAM BIG displays. Several parents reported children continued the conversation at home. We look forward to building on the foundation that was cemented in students’ minds today.”
Christine Heinrichs, Principal, Walnut Elementary
