On March 2nd and 3rd, 2015, Walnut Elementary School in Baldwin Park California participated in the first ever Sammy Rabbit Dream Big Read Financial Education Experience.

The pictures tell the story. Students from K through 5 dreamed big and discovered through story, songs and activities that establishing great money habits will help them make their big dreams come true, including going to and graduating from college!

"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."
