BIG news for Mississippi students and teachers! 🎉
The Mississippi Council on Economic Education is honored to receive a generous grant from @BlackRock to expand financial literacy education statewide following Mississippi’s new financial literacy graduation requirement. 🏦💡🎓
Basic financial literacy gives individuals the confidence and knowledge to move from simply earning money to growing it. When people understand concepts like budgeting, saving, risk, compound interest, and diversification, they are better equipped to make informed investment decisions that can build long-term financial security and generational wealth. 💰
Thank you to the Mississippi Legislature, Governor Tate Reeves, Attorney General Lynn Fitch, Secretary of State Michael Watson, Treasurer David McRae and all the state leaders who championed this important step for our students’ futures. Together, we are building a financially stronger Mississippi. Together we will prepare teachers with high quality training, curriculum and other resources.

A special shoutout to Lushun with @Delta in JAN for excellent customer service this morning! I’ll be a day late getting to Maui due to mechanical issues with the plane but she was so very helpful.
