Danny Dollar Academy

Title: Danny Dollar Academy

Description: Join us to learn more about the Danny Dollar Academy! Exclusively for teachers in Pearl River, Hancock, and Harrison counties, this program brings financial literacy to life through the inspiring adventures of Danny Dollar, the “King of Cha-Ching.” Whether students are just beginning to explore money concepts with The Lemonade Escapade (ideal for 3rd-5th grade) or diving deeper into entrepreneurship and money management with Make Your Own Money (perfect for 6th-7th grade), Danny’s storylines provide practical and fun lessons that empower young minds to earn, save, and dream big. The workshop includes interactive financial literacy lessons aligned with grade levels, engaging storytelling that introduces concepts like banking, budgeting, investing, and entrepreneurship, as well as hands-on activities that encourage students to create their own business plans and understand the power of smart money decisions. Teachers attending the workshop will receive a classroom set of The Lemonade Escapade or Make Your Own Money - a $250 value!
