Only three banks in
the state of Nebraska have participated in the National Teach Children to Save
day since its inception in 1997. Generations Bank in Exeter, is one
of those three banks.
This year Sharla
Dinneen represented Generations Bank to students at both the Exeter and
Milligan campus.
Dinneen emphasized to
the students that “We would like to encourage you to start young to have good
savings skills and to save more.”
Dinneen shared with
the students how money is made and told the students about the different United
States Mints. She explained that all of Nebraska’s money comes from the Federal
Reserve Bank in Kansas City.
The students learned
about the phrase that “Money doesn’t grow on trees” during Dinneen’s
presentation. Also during the afternoon session, Dinneen helped the
children understand the differences between needs and wants when shopping and
saving.
To emphasize the
point about money growing each student was given a plantable wildflower seed
bill made from recycled paper along with a snack and a drink courtesy of
Generations Bank.
This event is
scheduled each April during Financial Literacy Month.
