Outside of school, most fourth graders are consumed with various activities such as sports, playing with friends or the latest video games. Most aren't thinking about raising money to purchase a cow for an impoverished village someplace in the world. This is exactly the thing that is on the minds of Mrs. Ruston and Mrs. Kaidor's fourth grade classes at St. Barnabas Episcopal School in DeLand, Florida. The class members are soliciting anyone and everyone to sponsor their reading program to help raise money to purchase a cow for an impoverished village through the organization Heifer International. Class members have sought out sponsors that will pledge money to the cause based upon an agreed amount per page read. The class read over 6,000 pages!

With anything big that you want to accomplish in life, saving money requires having a goal. How can your child get where he/she wants to go without a finish line?

This will most likely be the easiest part of saving for your child. They want things all the time! The tough part will be narrowing their focus down to one thing.
