You received a survey from us last week asking for your feedback on how you use NGPF. If you completed the survey, you were entered for a chance to win one of 10 gift cards and we’re announcing the first two winners today! Haven’t filled out the survey yet to enter the raffle? You still have time for a chance to win the remaining six gift cards.

Congratulations to the first two winners of the $50 Amazon Gift Cards! We asked them why they think financial literacy is important and what they are most excited about this summer.

Kristen Owen who teaches at University High School (Waco, TX):

• It is important that our students learn to navigate the real world and make the right choices financially from the start so they don’t have to pay to catch up later on!
• Hitting the reset button for next school year and getting married!

Eric Sauthoff who teaches at Socastee High School (Myrtle Beach, SC):

• The more knowledge that we can expose our students to the better off we will be for the future. There is so much information out there that students need to know where to find reputable resources. Financial literacy is one of the most important skills they will learn in their lifetimes.

• Decompressing, reading, learning and spending time with my family.

There is still time to take the 2021-2022 NGPF Usage Survey -- the survey only takes around 10 minutes to complete. We will be announcing two raffle winners every Tuesday between May 25-June 22 via the NGPF Blog.
