To celebrate Money Smart Week (March 30 – April 6) and to promote Personal Financial Literacy, the Bank on Brazos Valley Coalition has generously extended an exclusive invitation to all Bryan ISD K-12 students.
Students have the opportunity to participate in either an Art (K-4) or Essay Writing (5-12) contest. Cash prizes will be awarded to all 1st place winners. This year, these prizes will be awarded on campus. Winning artwork and essays along with a picture of each contest winner will be displayed at City Hall during Money Smart Week. After display, winning entries will be returned to home campuses.
