Astra Bank is sponsoring Ramsey Solutions’ Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum for more than 330 students at seven schools across Kansas, including Abilene High School, Chapman High School, Hays High School, Republic County High School, Solomon High School, Sutton High School and Thomas More Prep Marian High School. Foundations in Personal Finance is the premier curriculum for teaching financial literacy to students.
“The mission of Astra Bank is to help our customers and communities to turn their dollars into fulfilled dreams,” said Kyle Campbell, president and CEO of Astra Bank. “We believe that Foundations in Personal Finance aligns with this mission, as it provides high school students with practical knowledge that will enable them to make wise decisions with respect to their finances, which will make it easier for them to turn their dollars into fulfilled dreams. We are very excited to work with Dave Ramsey’s team and our local school districts in this effort.”
Personal finance expert Dave Ramsey created Foundations in Personal Finance, an easy to use, turn-key high school curriculum that teaches students the value of saving, spending and giving to guide them down the path of financial literacy. Foundations in Personal Finance can be used as a primary or supplemental resource to fulfill requirements in mathematics, economics, family consumer science, business mathematics and personal finance.
