A local financial educator is pleased to finally be back in the schools in the last few weeks.

Connie Unruh is the Financial Literacy Coordinator for First National Bank in Clinton and is glad to be back giving lessons to kids of all ages on all things smart money management.

While Unruh hasn't been in the school for a few years now, she is excited to see that children are quickly catching up. For her curriculum, Unruh is making sure to reinforce previous lessons, something she does anyways for most levels.

For Unruh, she hopes the students come away with the message that money will be something they have to deal with for their entire lives and hopes they understand they have to take ownership of spending and managing money.

Unruh will use issues of the day to connect to money management and also leads an after-school business introduction program that is kicking off for the second semester. 'Bizz Town' meets at The Vault in Clinton on Wednesdays.
