Riverview Elementary Students in Wisconsin Read Sammy's Big Dream!
Amy Vetrone is a financial education leader.
She and I have never met in person. We connected on LinkedIn 5 or 6 years ago. We both share a passion for financial literacy education, especially efforts that target kids and families.
Amy teaches her son saving is a great habit. It helps make big dreams come true!
Since then we have collaborated and coordinated on a variety of projects. Amy:
... Helped catalyze the Wisconsin Bankers Foundation Sammy Rabbit Reading Raises Interest program initiated. It's an annual statewide program that has bankers bringing financial education to elementary schools through storybooks.
... Used Sammy Resources with her own child.
... Was a Sponsor of Sammy Rabbit's 1st National Dream Big Read and read at St. John Lutheran School in Berlin, Wisconsin. She gifted the school Sammy Big Dream storybooks.
... And, earlier this year, she shared Sammy resources with Riverview Elementary in Wautoma, WI.
You "predicted" it! Sammy books were a big hit at Riverview, the same as they have been all over the world. Here is the note and picture Amy shared with me.
Happy 2021 to you. I hope you are doing well. I wanted to share this with you. I have a teacher friend that asked me for financial curriculum ideas for her 1st graders. I gave her Sammy Rabbit books and referred her to your website for additional resources. She shared this picture with me. These are students at Riverview Elementary in Wautoma, WI. I thought you would enjoy this. Take care! Amy
