Since the start of the school year, 5 SMHS students have been competing in the A+ Federal Credit Union Savings Challenge. They’ve set goals, met with an A+ Savings Challenge coach, attended monthly personal finance workshops, developed and taught their own money workshop, and worked hard to save money.
The contestants were judged by four A+ employees based on the amount of money they saved, their dedication to the monthly workshops, their peer presentations, monthly blog posts, and their coach’s evaluation.
Each of the contestants did a great job and we are excited to announce the winners.
- In first place, winning the $1000 prize is Lynda Brundin.
- In second place, winning the $500 prize is Solana Dever.
- In third place, winning $250 is Iris Ozuna.
- In fourth place, winning $250 is Katelyn Sundquist.
- In fifth place, winning $250 is Katherine Wright.
The contestants couldn’t have succeeded without the help of their coaches. Thanks to Nikki Vincent, Kim Zeringue, Gladys Garrett, Kelsey Blomdahl, and Emily Brewer for their dedication to helping their contestants learn about money and improve their personal finance skills. Special thanks to Lisa Mae Delgado, the San Marcos branch manager, for all her work during the Challenge.
And a final thanks to San Marcos High School for working with A+ Federal Credit Union and helping improve the financial lives of their students.
Again, congratulations to all the students and coaches.
