Students in Jackson, Greer and Harmon counties are getting a free education on how to manage their money.
Stockmans Bank is working with Banzai, a national award-winning financial literacy program. The goal is to make an online remote-friendly curriculum available to these schools.
"Banzai is a web-based financial literacy program. Kids get their own accounts, and work through assignments that are based on real life," said Morgan Vandagriff, co-founder of Banzai. "But because Stockmans Bank is sponsoring, kids get it for free. More than ever, it's important that kids develop sound financial skills to prepare them for the real world," said Vandagriff.
