Platte Valley Bank Sponsors EverFi's Financial Literacy Program

In order to improve financial literacy in our local high schools, Platte Valley Bank supplies seven area high schools with software to help teachers better engage students in learning about how to manage their financial future. The software we provide is called EverFi™.

This spring, EverFi™ launched a national student blog competition amongst the 150,000+ K-12 students who recently completed EverFi's™ Financial Literacy course.  We asked these students to share their thoughts on a variety of topics including the impact the learning experience has had on their lives and the decisions they’ll make going forward.  We also asked them to share the dreams they have for the future and how their recent EverFi™ certification has shaped those future plans. EverFi™ received thousands of entries from students across 32 states and were been truly moved by their inspiring stories.  We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the students who submitted entries.

Our local winners are Samantha Rivera from Smithville High School and Ryan French from North Platte High School! Congratulations to you both. We wish you both much success in your future endeavors.
