‘Millionaires in the
Making’ program

Under the guidance of Edward Sanchez, who is a financial consultant, the eighth grade class at St. Vincent Ferrer hosted a financial instruction class for parents, faculty and the community on April 25. This presentation was part of “Smart Money Week” sponsored by the Federal Reserve in Chicago.

The students demonstrated the money management knowledge they acquired from Sanchez’s weekly finance class. After the presentation, the audience had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the students and Sanchez.

A special guest attended the evening. Channel 2 Consumer Reporter Dorothy Tucker spoke to the audience about the importance of saving money and investing in various ways.
