The Stratford Public Schools in partnership with Junior Achievement, Mutual Security Credit Union, Sikorsky Financial Credit Union, People’s United Bank and other business and community volunteers will host the sixth annual Financial Literacy Week for Stratford students. At a national level, April has been designated as Financial Literacy Education Month and Stratford has chosen April 4 through 8 to celebrate Financial Literacy for all students in the Stratford Public Schools.

Governor Dannell Molloy and Mayor John Harkins proclaimed April as Financial Literacy Education Month for the Town of Stratford and encouraged all citizens to do their part in helping children prepare to be successful members of the local and global economy.

Also in 2011, President Obama issued a proclamation declaring April as Financial Literacy Education Month at a National level urging Americans to recommit to teaching our children about the basics of financial education.

Throughout the district, more than 7,400 students will spend part of their school day participating in hands-on Financial Literacy activities during this week. Teachers, administrators, and business and community volunteers will share their time and knowledge to teach important financial literacy concepts that will help children progress as future members of the workforce.

Community members are welcome to participate.

For more information, contact Diane Christiano, coordinator of Career & Technology Education, at christianod@stratfordk12.org.
