"Wow Zone" Programs At The Killingworth Library

Representatives from TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, will hold two workshops for fourth and fifth grade students: “Budgeting and Saving” and “Introduction to Credit”. High schoolers who aspire to be financially savvy will also be offered a workshop covering both understanding credit and the stock market.  

In Budgeting and Saving, kids will learn the concept of budgeting and calculating simple interest on a savings account. The activities rely on a variety of interactive and visual formats which are both interesting and fun. The class will be held on April 21 at 10:30 am. 

In Introduction to Credit, the concept of credit will be introduced and students will be allowed to explore credit on a meaningful and concrete level through activities and examples. Each activity guides students in becoming aware of how credit is obtained, retained, and used in a responsible manner. The class will be held on April 21 at 1:30 pm.

The high school workshop on credit and securities focuses on how to obtain credit and maintain good practices with credit and a good credit rating, as well as provides the necessary content background to prepare students for participating in a stock market game, including how to read stock market information. The class will be held on April 20 at 10:30 am.

All lessons, which run between 40 minutes and one hour, are limited to 20 students. Students are welcome to attend one or both sessions if they are interested.
