FedChoice Charitable Foundation Celebrates One Year of Empowering Education at Cora L. Rice Elementary School
On April 23, the FedChoice Charitable Foundation (FCF) and the FedChoice Credit Union team visited Cora L. Rice Elementary School to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Foundation’s re-launch. Last year, FCF re-focused its efforts on bringing the power of financial literacy to local underserved communities.
Brett Noll, FedChoice FCU President and CEO, and Foundation Board Chair, thanked Principal Kia Payne and the school team for our fruitful partnership, which has resulted in numerous successful events promoting financial literacy held at the school throughout this past year. Michael Martin, FedChoice FCU Internal Auditor, reminded the students about the importance of staying safe online.
Thanks to the generous support from VISA, we were able to provide 78 fourth-grade students with a copy of Black Panther, Guardians of Galaxy, and Avengers comic books. These aren’t just any comic books – they were created by Marvel in conjunction with VISA specifically to include a financial education component.
Andrey Gidaspov, FCF Executive Director, led an engaging session using the “Avengers: Saving the Day” online comic book. Students learned how saving and budgeting can help them reach their own “superhero” dreams. The students worked in groups using “Budget Blaster” handouts and presented their short-term and long-term saving goals on stage. Everyone loved the Avengers story and financial literacy session!
We are grateful to VISA for providing creative materials and appreciate the funding from the Jack Henry CSR team, which supported this program. Our gratitude also extends to Cora L Rice ES Principal Kia Payne and the Community Liaison team.
