Financial Literacy for Middle Schoolers
Fridays, November 7 & 14, and December 5 & 12
Students in Grades 5-8
McCall Room
This class, taught by a Staples High School student, introduces students in grades 5 to 8 to the basics of financial literacy in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Students will explore topics like saving, budgeting, and making smart financial choices through hands-on activities and real-life examples. The goal is to help students build practical money skills they can use now and in the future.
Registering for November 7th will grant admission into all four sessions. If you were unable to register for the first class, but are still interested in attending, please email the teen services librarian at [email protected].
Instructor Bio
Hello! My name is Aanya, and I am a high school student passionate about making education more practical and accessible. I want to start a financial literacy program at the Library because I’ve come to understand how essential it is to manage money, and how little guidance we often receive. As an older sibling, I’ve seen firsthand that people are more likely to engage when learning feels relevant and interactive. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating a program that’s not only informative but also engaging and easy to relate to—something that genuinely helps, not just another lecture to sit through.
