I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you for your generous donation of books about money. My students have tremendously expanded their knowledge on financial literacy. More importantly, they have gained a love of reading with these high-interest books, especially on this particular topic. They have been insightful about how they will spend their money and we've had many aha moments where the students gain a realistic view of the world. It is so wonderful to hear them create their business plans and in the process use vocabulary words and phrases such as marketing strategies, making an impact in the world, making wise economic decisions, evaluating choices about money, etc. The students learned the value of collaboration and the hard work it takes to run a business. They have enjoyed learning about finances tremendously and of course, sharing and presenting their business ideas and plans to the rest of the class - all thanks to you!

I have already used these resources with my class last year since I couldn't wait to use it! This year, I have already started to use them as well. This is truly a gift that keeps giving! Thank you, once again, Charles Schwab Foundation and Amy for this act of generosity and kindness. Someday, I know that my students will achieve their goals, will help others just as you have, and will give back to their community.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Martinez
