They grasped the importance of spending wisely, saving for the future, and one of the most impactful lessons—sharing with others.I would like to "big up" Crystal McLean for her incredible efforts in ensuring that our children learn about the power and value of money from an early age. As it is often said, “Whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow” a lesson our students are now better equipped to understand and apply.Thank you for your continued support in fostering a rich learning environment at District 7 Elementary School.

Mrs. Mclean is just amazing I left with a sense of confidence in my financial knowledge and ability. Thank you again for everything.

2025-04-02T00:05:22.498Z

Mrs. McLean taught a money matters class at the Bill Crisp Senior Center. It was a blessing to receive all of the knowledge she had to share and best of all it was free. She challenged the class to write down their goals which often makes them seem more real. She gave solutions to achieve the goals after discussion. If you ever see a class being offered make sure to stop by because you won't regret it. It will be worth every cent. 😀

I am definitely recommending Money Box Academy. I have had the honor of being a part of her program as she has presented to our youth groups twice. Money Box Academy recently presented to our young ladies ages 14-18 years old and her program was very engaging and tailored to the age group. Ms. Crystal discussed various topic such as debit/credit, deductions, and the importance of saving. She was very genuine and energetic. Throughout the planning process, she was always eager to answer any questions. If you are interested in having a speaker to present to your youth groups, company, business, or sororities/fraternities, I once again am recommending their service. We look forward to working together again.
