April is Financial Literacy Month, and April 24 is Teach Children to Save Day! It’s the perfect time to start conversations with your kids about money and help them build smart saving habits that will last a lifetime.

One of the best ways to make learning about money fun is through hands-on activities. That’s why we’re excited to bring back our "Savings Made Sweet" Coloring Contest! This is a simple and engaging way for families to talk about savings while spending quality time together.

How to Participate in "Savings Made Sweet"

  1. Pick up a coloring page at any of our main bank locations or print one from this blog (two options below).

  2. Get creative! Have fun coloring with your kids (or even by yourself!) while talking about their savings goals—maybe they’re dreaming of a new bike, a fun trip, or even starting their own little business.

  3. Return the finished page to any of our bank locations by April 27 to be displayed in our lobbies.

  4. Be entered to win! All submissions will be entered into our "Savings Made Sweet" drawing for a chance to win a sweet prize.

  5. Don’t forget to include your name, your child’s name, and a phone number on the back so we can contact you if you win!
