Today is Teach Children to Save Day. It's part of a nationwide campaign. Here's why it's important and where you can find out more about how you can get your kids to save. 

Teach Children to Save 2012: Today is "Teach Children to Save Day”. It’s a component of the national Teach Children to Save campaign.  The campaign aims to raise awareness about the important role that banks and bankers play in helping our children develop lifelong savings habits.  So far the campaign has reached more than 5 million kids with the help of over 100,000 plus bank volunteers and various websites including www.teachchildrentosave.com.

Our friends at Plaza Park Bank in Waite Park and Sartell will be joining the Get Up & Go Show this morning at 9:30AM to discuss ways we can help kids save locally.  Please also feel free to check out their website or contact them with further questions at www.plazaparkbank.com.
