Wisconsin. Begin preparing. The Dream Big Read is coming to the Badger state THIS APRIL!
The Wisconsin Bankers Foundation, MyMazuma.com, and their Wisconsin banking partners are proud to feature Sammy Rabbit's Dream Big Education Initiative as part of their Reading Raises Interest campaign.
The initiative and campaign aim to:
Help young kids build great money and reading habits
Provide a strategic financial education resource - Sammy's Big Dream - to kids, classrooms and community agencies in Wisconsin
Make it easier for parents, educators and community leaders to talk to and teach kids about money
Raise awareness on the importance of early financial literacy and financial education.
Saving and reading are powerful habits. They transform lives. They teach discipline, delayed gratification, and goal setting. They build financial security and better position a person for opportunity and to make one's dreams come true.
We believe great habits give all kids better futures. And, that is what we want - kids to have better and brighter futures.
