Dollar Dog Teaches SAS Elementary Students the Value of Saving
Wednesday, March 19th, 2025: Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School got a special visit from Empower Federal Credit Union—and their beloved mascot, Dollar Dog!
The visit started with a fun, energetic dance party that got everyone moving and smiling. But the excitement didn’t stop there—students were thrilled when Dollar Dog appeared!
During the visit, students learned the basics of financial literacy, focusing on spending, saving, and sharing money. Empower’s engaging and age-appropriate lesson helped young learners understand the importance of smart money habits early on.
Families are reminded that Dollar Dog Days happen every other Wednesday. If your child has an Empower account, they can bring money to school to make a deposit and begin building healthy saving habits.
Thank you to Empower Federal Credit Union for being such a supportive and engaging community partner. We look forward to the next Dollar Dog Day!
