Reviews and news from librarians, parents, and newspapers.
Thank you for bringing the Penny Power Project's passion for teaching students the fundamentals of financial literacy […] Girick did an amazing job! He broke down commonly misunderstood financial terms and concepts in an easy-to-understand way.
I just wanted to reach out and thank you again for the wonderful workshop you did for the kids here. It was a big hit, and my director really enjoyed it.
I would like to extend gratitude to you for hosting events for teens … it's been wonderful to have a full teen room and enthusiastic event participants.
Thank you so much for the financial program for the kids. It was really helpful, and I think it's especially important for them to learn these skills at this age. I truly appreciate you sharing this and taking the initiative.
Overall, your cohort was well received by the students and the parents. I do not have anything negative to say.

Using Pokémon cards, paper money, and interactive videos, the duo makes budgeting rules and interest payments interesting for a young audience.
