Indianapolis Teen “One of the Million” Students
INDIANAPOLIS — A Warren Central High School student is praising the benefits of the Ramsey Solutions Foundations in Personal Finance course as Fifth Third Bank celebrates the milestone of educating 1 million students since 2010.
Fifth Third Bank sponsors the Ramsey program across eight states as part of the bank’s commitment to financial empowerment. More than 140 Indiana schools receive the free program each year.
“This program is an amazing opportunity for students to get a head start at financial success and stability,” said Warren Central senior Laila Adame. “I am learning life lessons in budgeting and banking skills and have been exposed to major purchase processes and what I should and should not do.”
Jenna Burns, a teacher at the Warren Central Finance Academy, added: “Courses like these are especially important to my students because many of them have been living in the cycle of poverty and this helps them begin the end of this cycle by seeing how to save and invest.”
Sailing4Sight Needs Donations
INDIANAPOLIS — Sailing4Sight is a 501 C 3 public charity that provides free eye exams and free eyeglasses (does not include contact lenses) for homeless and less fortunate school age children. Children are referred by the school nurses who both know and can identify those who need the service. Eye exams are provided (refractions for eyeglasses) for each registered child free by local eyecare professionals (eye doctors). When needed, free eyeglass frames and lenses are provided by Sailing4Sight who also organize the events, provide the gift bags and items and recruits volunteers to help. In addition to the exam and eyeglasses, each child will receive a gift bag to take home that contains healthy snacks, school supplies, hygiene items such as toothpaste and brushes along with eyeglass cleaner and cloths.
If any business or person has anything that could be donated to our gift bags for the kids it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Nancy at 317-403-2192 to make donations.
