Bradford Teacher Receives Award
A teacher at Bradford Area High School has received a “Ripple Effect” award from the Governor’s Institute on Financial Education.
Kimberly Preston was one of four teachers recognized today during the third annual “Ripple Effect” awards ceremony. The award is given to teachers working to improve financial education in their school and communities. The other teachers are from Bucks, Huntingdon and Westmoreland counties.
“It is more important than ever that we provide young people with the financial tools they will need to succeed as adults,” Secretary of Banking Steve Kaplan said while congratulating the winners. “The educators recognized with this award are overcoming the challenges of tight budgets and scheduling hassles to pioneer new ways of teaching some of the most important lessons students will ever learn.”
The awards were presented at the conclusion of the Governor’s Institute on Financial Education at Elizabethtown College in Lancaster County. The weeklong program, offered by the Pennsylvania Office of Financial Education, is designed to help teachers integrate financial concepts – such as budgeting, saving and borrowing wisely – into their existing lesson plans. About 90 teachers attended the Institute, which is now in its sixth year.
