🐾 We had a great time connecting with Hancock's 8th-grade Life Skills students and sharing valuable lessons about budgeting, saving, and making smart financial decisions! 💰

Thank you to Hancock Public Schools for welcoming Breakwater into the classroom! We're proud to support financial education and help equip the next generation with the tools and confidence to build a strong financial future. 💙

💰🐾 Building Financial Smarts, One Bulldog at a Time! 🐾💵

Our 8th-grade Life Skills students are learning that being prepared for the future means more than just academics — it also means knowing how to make smart financial decisions! 💡

A BIG Bulldog thank you to Kayleigh White from Breakwater Credit Union for taking time out of her busy schedule to visit our classroom and share her knowledge of financial literacy!

Understanding the importance of saving, budgeting, managing money responsibly, and making informed financial decisions are skills that will benefit our students long after they leave the classroom. 💲

Our Life Skills class is all about connecting what students learn in school to the real-world experiences and responsibilities that lie ahead. Having community professionals like Kayleigh share their expertise helps students see just how valuable these lessons are in everyday life.

❤️💛 Thank you, Kayleigh and Breakwater Credit Union, for investing your time in our students and helping prepare the next generation of Bulldogs for a financially successful future!

🐾 Learning today. Making smart choices tomorrow. That's the Bulldog Way!

Last week, our Breakwater team celebrated CU Kind Day by spreading kindness throughout our community!

Each employee was given $100 to make a difference in a way that was meaningful to them. Our team found many ways to give back, including:

🌸 Delivering flowers to local nursing homes
☕ Treating local teachers to coffee
⛽ Surprising community members with gas gift cards
🥪 Providing lunch for local nurses
💙 Supporting a variety of local organizations and causes
🤝 Organizing fundraisers to help members in need

At Breakwater, people helping people is more than just a philosophy. It's something we strive to put into action every day. We're proud of our team for finding meaningful ways to give back and make a positive impact in the communities we serve! 💙

This week, we had the opportunity to visit the Copper Country Intermediate School District Career & Technical Education (CTE) Business & Entrepreneurship classes as well as students in Mrs. Larson's Personal Finance class at Adams Township Schools!💰📚

During today's visit with Mr. Kass's students, we covered banking basics, the differences between banks and credit unions, ways to grow your money, and budgeting strategies like the 50/30/20 rule and pay-yourself-first method. We wrapped things up with a fast-paced, competitive trivia game, complete with buzzers! 🔔🏆

We're excited to see financial literacy education gaining momentum in our local schools and are proud to be part of it!

Thank you to CCISD and Jeffers High School for welcoming us! 💙
