Captain Cash Visits Lincoln Elementary
February 26, 2025 at 6:33 p.m.
“Captain Cash,” an elementary school curriculum designed by Purdue Extension for fourth-grade students, recently sailed in your community.
During the voyage, 23 fourth-graders from Lincoln Elementary enjoyed classroom activities that helped them consider the following themes: The more you learn the more you earn; every payday save some cash away; there is an end to what you can spend; and for a safer tomorrow, be wise when you borrow. Additionally, lesson topic relevant children’s books brought this financial literacy program to life and helped students learn that reading makes “cents”!
If you would like to learn more about “Captain Cash” in your school or organization, or embark on a money voyage of your own, contact Shannon Shepherd, Kosciusko County educator, at 574-372-2340 or via email at [email protected].
