MANISTIQUE – April marked another impactful Financial Literacy Month for Limestone Financial Credit Union as the team continued its commitment to delivering meaningful, engaging and age-appropriate financial education across Schoolcraft and Chippewa counties. Through classroom visits, interactive activities, and community partnerships, each initiative was designed to spark conversations and build essential money management skills.

In April, Limestone FCU helped promote the Smart Money Mission: GooseChase Game, a statewide initiative sponsored by MCUF. By raising awareness of this interactive scavenger hunt experience, Limestone FCU encouraged youth to participate in financial literacy challenges that focused on real-world money skills while making learning fun and accessible.

Additionally, Limestone FCU expanded its outreach through a variety of interactive and school-based initiatives. At Emerald Elementary, students participated in a Jelly Bean Jar guessing activity that brought excitement while encouraging estimation and critical thinking skills. The credit union also hosted a St. Francis de Sales School field trip day, where second grade students visited the credit union and rotated through hands-on stations, including decorating their own piggy banks while learning about saving money.

Limestone FCU continued its presence in local schools by hosting weekly Chalkboard Trivia at Manistique Middle and High School. Students tested their financial knowledge and entered their answers into weekly drawings for a chance to win local gift cards.
