Rensselaer students recently had a unique opportunity to learn about Financial Wellness thanks to a visit from Salah Harris, Tino Rodriguez, and Ehdoh Kyi's Ready Set Grow program, who brought in Arrow Bank to work with our students.

The presenters covered essential financial topics, including:

• Budgeting

• Saving

• Emergency Funds

• Recognizing and preventing Bank Fraud

We were incredibly impressed by our students' engagement; they initiated interesting conversations and many revealed they already manage their own bank accounts! A special thank you to Joy Rodriguez (Tino's mom), Branch Manager, and Keelan Seifert, Cash Management Officer, for sharing their financial expertise with our community.

We're grateful for Ready Set Grow and Arrow Bank for providing this essential life skill education to our students.
