Students Inspired to Learn at Promisefest
Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS) partnered with the Springfield Promise Neighborhood for their annual Promisefest at Lincoln Elementary. Rachel Klopfer, certified housing and credit counselor, created an educational and interactive atmosphere for the children to learn how to save money and create financial goals. Children of all ages enjoyed learning the principles behind money saving and had a fun time developing their goals with Rachel. The booth was very popular with not only the children in attendance, but also their parents who wanted to learn more about CCCS.
