Congratulations to our STING ticket winners!

MAKING BANK CONTEST FOR K-2 STUDENTS
As we all know, it’s never too early to learn about the importance of saving and smart money choices. Now through January 31, 2022, South Carolina K-2 teachers are invited to register their class to participate in the Future Scholar "Making Bank" Contest. The contest is a fun activity for students that also encourages parents to start talking to their children about creating good financial habits.
Using a provided template, students will be tasked with using their creativity to design a piggy bank that illustrates things they’d like to save for, highlighting and demonstrating an understanding of both their needs and wants. Teachers may expand the contest into a classroom or take-home lesson using our activity guide.
Each participating school will select first, second, and third place prize winners. First place winning students will then be entered into a statewide contest for a chance to win a privately funded $500 college savings grant.
