“Captain Cash,” a school curriculum designed by Purdue Extension for elementary students, recently sailed into the community.
During the voyage, 24 fourth-graders from Mentone Elementary School 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.
The students had hands-on interactive learning sessions during their island voyages while gaining a better understanding of money concepts that will serve them throughout life.
