Money Smarts Start Early: Financial Literacy Fun with FBT Bank & Mortgage

Our campers got a hands-on lesson in financial literacy, thanks to a special visit from LaTasha Randle of FBT Bank & Mortgage. Ms. Randle walked the class through the steps of opening a pretend savings account and taught them the basics of banking and smart saving habits.

Campers were presented with real-life money scenarios—like choosing between wants and needs, saving for a goal, and understanding how spending choices affect their savings. These scenarios helped them think critically about how to manage money responsibly.

Each camper also filled out a financial literacy booklet filled with engaging activities and savings-focused lessons. They worked through exercises that reinforced the importance of budgeting, tracking deposits, and setting aside money for the future.

This interactive experience made financial education fun and meaningful.

A heartfelt thank-you to Tasha Randle for her ongoing commitment to the Pine Bluff community and for pouring into our youth. Your time, energy, and passion are helping build financially confident future leaders, and we are deeply grateful. Thank you as well to FBT Bank & Mortgage for partnering with us to make learning!
