On February 28, Helms shared her beliefs in giving your best efforts and giving back by  

leading a Dream Big Read Financial Education Experience at Jones Elementary School in Springdale, Arkansas.

There, Helms treated students to an enthusiastic reading of Sammy’s Big Dream! The story book follows Sammy Rabbit’s journey and the choices he makes to achieve one of his big dreams, riding the world first outer space roller coaster.

The goals were to encourage students to build healthy financial habits at a young age and send them a message that they have the ability make their dreams come true just like Helms.
