This week, I was honored to visit two local schools: Wendell Phillips Elementary and James Bridger Middle School.
Joyce Neal, Principal Deloris Brown, and Mr. R. Stephen Green, Superintendent of Kansas City School District welcomed us to their school, in connection with the Central Bank of Kansas City's Teach Children to Save lesson. Also present to help was Mr. Bill Dana, CEO Central Bank of Kansas City, who helped create this pilot program to contribute to financial education and literacy in our urban KC schools.
