A huge thank you to Melody Cline-Valdes from BOK Financial for volunteering her time to share her expertise with students at Maryvale High School in the Phoenix Union High School District! The students gained valuable insights into personal finance and got a firsthand look at what it’s like to work in the financial industry. At ACEE, we’re proud to support schools, teachers, and students by connecting them with incredible guest speakers who bring financial literacy and career exploration to life. #FinancialLiteracy #CareerExploration

So much to be grateful for when we were invited by Echo Mountain Primary in the Paradise Valley Unified School District to present our EconReads program. "I love how engaged and excited the presenters were to read and teach the class! The students loved answering their questions!" Thank you to our amazing volunteers who brought economics to life for Kinder through 3rd grade students! Through engaging stories like An Orange in January (consumers & producers) and Tia Isa Wants a Car (choices & savings goals), students explored essential economic concepts in a fun and interactive way. #EconReads
