Reading Cooperative Bank Teaches Daisy Troops Saving Techniques

Reading, MA – On November 10th Nancy Brown, Manager of Reading Cooperative Bank’s Wilmington Branch, met with a group of 13 first graders in Girl Scout Troop 76216 to teach them the importance of saving through the Teach Children to Save Program. Brown has been teaching young students the value of saving money for a few years and has developed a sincere passion for teaching these important lessons.

“I am very proud of the work that I do with children in the local communities through the Teaching Children to Save Program. It is amazing how much information the students can absorb in even just one lesson. Each lesson presents a new challenge to the students and the lessons are often a highlight of my week. All of the students received a petal that reads, ‘Money Matters’ to remind them of the importance of saving,” says Nancy Brown, Wilmington Branch Manager.

Teaching Children to Save (TCTS) is a national program that organizes bank volunteers, like Brown, to help young people develop savings habits early in life. The program was founded in 1997, and since that time over 145,000 volunteers have taught over 6 million students the importance of saving.
