“The MoneyWi$erTM program was a perfect fit for our 5th grade students. It is a program that they can access anywhere, and that’s what made it so great. So, whether they are at school or at home, they can access it. It’s interesting, it’s fun, it’s delivered in an enjoyable way, so the students just gravitated to the MoneyWi$erTM program very, very quickly.”
