Thank you to all of the students who participated in our LEAF 360 Wellness incentive at parent teacher conferences. Based on their age and ability, students sorted coins, made specific denominations in multiple ways, and made change for $1. Students earned a $10 incentive toward their Childhood Savings Account. Just a reminder that if you have a BK-6th grade child in a school in Lapeer County they have a LEAF CSA started with $25 seed money. #proudcardinal
