The Bank of Hemet Sponsors the EVERFI National Financial BeeAt a time when parents are struggling to balance work, financial stress, and taking on the mantle of teaching. The Bank of Hemet is here to support families by providing a brand new initiative that engages students in 7th-10th grade. About the ProgramThe Bank of Hemet is sponsoring the EVERFI National Financial Bee, taking place April 20-24, 2020 (has been extended to April 30). The National Financial Bee is a first-of-its-kind nationwide financial literacy challenge for students in 7th - 10th grade. Amidst widespread school closures driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Financial Bee provides an opportunity for students to have some fun and learn critical financial concepts at home while social distancing. The five-day challenge, created by social impact education innovator EVERFI, and supported by leading financial institutions nationwide, features a short daily digital lesson and capstone essay contest in which students will share a financial dream of theirs and how they plan to get there. Winners of the National Financial Bee will receive a total of $20,0000 in college scholarships. During each day of the challenge, participating students will gain new skills to create a personalized financial decision-making framework that they can apply to their lives now and in the future. Topics include spending and saving, credit and debt, employment and income, investing, and insurances. In addition to supporting the National Financial Bee, The Bank of Hemet works with EVERFI to provide schools-based financial education within its footprint. |
