The 2011

"I Can Save!"

Tour

Funding provided by

The “I Can Save” campaign is designed to encourage elementary school children to begin a savings habit that can continue through their lives.

To commemorate April as Youth Financial Literacy Month, NH Jump$tart volunteers as well as state dignitaries visited with elementary schools in the Granite State during the month of April.

Each student received a Moonjar moneybox after participating in an interactive lesson. Moonjar moneyboxes were created as a tool for children and families to incorporate strong financial values and practices into their daily lives.

Winner of a 2004 Global Learning Initiative Award for Educational Excellence, each Moonjar consists of three moneyboxes (Spending, Saving, and Sharing), a family guide to get started, a passbook to record deposits and withdrawals, and a NH Jump$tart elastic band to hold the assembled boxes together.

The "I Can Save!" tour launched at Thorntons Ferry Elementary School in Merrimack with many invited state dignitaries and other invited guests.  Our sincere thanks to Fidelity Investments for sponsoring the "I Can Save!" tour again this year.
