Future Business Leaders of America—Middle Level Promotes AMERICA SAVES WEEK

FBLA-ML club at New Kent Middle School is helping to promote America Saves Week from February 25 – March 1.  The club is listed as 1 of about 750 organizations nationwide coming together to promote good savings behavior and motivating students to join as a Young America Saver On-line. The theme this year for America Saves Week is “Set a Goal. Make a Plan. Save Automatically.”  Announcements are being read daily to the entire student body, posters are displayed throughout the building, and all of Mrs. Hogge’s Computer Applications, Keyboarding Applications, and Computer Solutions students will be educated about why saving for your future is important and encouraged to make the pledge to save money for their future.  Everyone is encouraged to make a commitment to start saving money today. Start Small…Think Big!

Thanks to NKMS teacher and club sponsor Shelly Hogge for supporting this initiative!
