Youth Education: Back to School
August 4, 2025

The start of school brings more than just new school supplies. It’s also the chance to set the tone for the year ahead. That’s why we created our “This Year, I Will…” Bookmark Set, designed to help kids build the future-ready skills they need to succeed in school and life.
3 Tips for Building Future-Ready Habits at Home:
- Choose a Trait Together. Each bookmark highlights a key skill—teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, communication, responsibility, or financial confidence. Talk with your child about which one fits their goals this year.
- Keep It Visible. Place their chosen bookmark in a planner, on the fridge, or in a book. It’s a daily visual reminder of the kind of person they’re working to become.
- Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection. When your child shows growth—like taking initiative or managing money—call it out. These small wins build lifelong confidence.
