FINANCIAL LITERACY
SAFF has completed the filming and editing of 10 five minute modules on Financial Literacy:
''THINK RICHLY: LEARN TO EARN!'. Middle and high school youths as well as a few of our tutors and community partners worked very hard to help create this important project. Module 1 is now up our Financial Literacy page! Youths and their friends, adult guardians, tutors, teachers are watching the first module and answering the questions. The title of MODULE 1 is "WHAT IS YOUR VALUE ABOUT MONEY?". Adults you might want to watch it and answer the questions. You may surprise yourself with your answers. We will post new modules every couple of weeks. The modules cover identity theft, credit card management, applying for college or vocational skills, writing scholarship essays, avoiding predatory loan shops, FAFSA and financial aid, government versus private student loans, and more. |

THEATRE PRODUCTION
SAFF's Executive Director has stated many times that his favorite children's book is ahauntingly beautiful story about a grandfather and grandmother and a 12 year old girl on a road trip to find the girl's mom who seems to have abandoned her.
It's such a beautiful a story! Well, it's now about to be a major theatre production in Reno to open at the end of May and SAFF's ED, Joseph is portraying the grandfather in the production. Yep, I'm Gramps! I love this story. It's all about family love and hope and healing.
I HOPE ALL OF OUR FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE FAMILIES WILL ATTEND... I'm having a ball at rehearsals with the cast of 16 - many kids in it !!!!
