Grade 7 students from Light of Christ School Division got to learn some practical tips about how to handle their money last Wednesday.
It was the annual “Talk with our kids about money” presentation, which took place at Notre Dame school and Holy Family school in North Battleford, but included students from other schools as well.
This year’s events in North Battleford were organized by Battlefords Chamber of Commerce, with national sponsor Scotiabank providing the presentation to students. Various local sponsors participated as well.
Chamber President Warren Williams and Nicole Suberlak, branch manager of Scotiabank, took part in the presentation.
Students learned a number of tips on the importance of saving money, on differentiating between your “wants” and your “needs”, how to open a bank account, and how to manage your personal finances.
The most popular parts of the event, though, was the pizza provided for lunch, as well as the prize draw for a mini iPad for one lucky student in attendance.
