We would like to invite Mandarin Middle School students to participate in the Sixth Annual Jacksonville Wi$e Money Week Kids Essay Contest.
Two students (one boy, one girl) will be named this year's Wi$e Money Kids and each winner will receive a $1,000 kids college savings account provided by SunTrust Bank.
This contest is open to Middle School students who submit an essay answering the 2017 Question highlighting the importance of being Wi$e about Money.
The goal of Wi$e Money Week is to teach you how to properly manage your money. Part of being a productive citizen in the 21st century involves being financially responsible. When we are not financially responsible it affects everyone around us in one way or another.
The 2017 Question is:
Think about a time when you, or someone you know was NOT financially responsible and made a bad financial decision. If you could go back and change your decision or give someone advice, what would you say in order to turn the poor financial decision into a smart, responsible one?
2017 Wi$e Money Week-Kid-Essay Application please see Ms. Wilhelm or app below.
Application deadline is 5:00 pm on Friday, April 28th.
The winners will read their winning essays at the Sixth Annual Jacksonville Wi$e Money Week Kickoff Breakfast on Monday, May 15, 2017
All essays become the property of the Sixth Annual Wi$e Money Week Committee and may be used to promote financial literacy.
