We just completed a busy week of report card redemptions in the Goal Card program! Our students brought their report cards and met with volunteer coaches, who helped them to tally up their points and set goals for the next 9 weeks.
We have over 500 students enrolled in the Goal Card program - more than 400 of those students banked their points this quarter! The students are learning to save their points, to use to buy something bigger and better for themselves at the end of the year.
One of the students shared that he thought about redeeming his points this quarter for headphones. He realized after talking with his Goal Card coach that he could save his points for this quarter and he would have enough points for a gift card, which he could use to buy his headphones AND music to listen to!
We are building a community of savers, who are learning important financial literacy concepts, like the importance of delayed gratification!
