August 2016: Issue 48
School 2016
That Time of Year ...
Throughout the country, kids of all ages are dusting off the mental cobwebs and returning to school. And in some houses, mothers and fathers are appreciating the return to schedules, plans and early nights to bed (though they may not admit it).

Yet Back-to-School can also mean increasing Financial Literacy. It's never too early to teach future financial minds how to use their bank accounts, and even credit cards, intelligently.

In this issue, we focus on educating you and your student making sure that going Back-to-School includes some classes in Financial matters.

Here's to a great new school year!
