KCEE
Welcome to our new name for the monthly newsletter - EconoCents. Thanks for helping to select our new name.  We look forward to bringing EconoCents to you each month.

Teacher Spotlight

This month we introduce a new segment - Teacher Spotlight.  At least twice a year we will shine the spotlight on a teacher using KCEE materials to teach financial literacy in their classroom. This month we feature Suzanne Stark of Hays High School.  You can read her spotlight by clicking here.  Thank you Ms. Stark.  

I would like for you to participate in this feature.  The more responses we have the more often we can feature the fine educators who use KCEE in the classroom.  Click here to take the Teacher Spotlight Survey

Stock Market Game

There is still time to get your team registered for the fall session of the Stock market Game.  Visit our website and then select the Stock Market Game.

Personal Finance Challenge

Time to register you teams for the Personal Finance Challenge.  The Personal Finance Challenge is an engaging competition for students learning about personal finance in the classroom. Working as individuals and on teams, students will be tested on their knowledge of facts and terms relating to finances. Spending & Credit, Saving & Investing, and Income & Money Management are the topics for each round. High scoring teams from the preliminary rounds will be invited to compete at the in-person state competition in the spring.  Visit our website for more details.
