Dr. William Delsa!
Dr. William Delsa has been awarded a scholarship to attend the Jump$tart National Educator Conference of Financial Literacy in Washington D. C., November 6th-8th. We are proud to say that this is the third time Dr. Delsa has been selected.
The Jump$tart National Educator Conference is the nation’s premier professional development event for 300 PreK-12th grade teachers, dedicated to financial education in the classroom. For teachers, it is an event offering tools and information they can use in their classrooms as soon as they return to school. While there are many ways to advance financial literacy for young people, financial education in school helps prepare all students, from all walks of life.
The Jump$tart National Educator Conference of Financial Literacy is a warm and invigorating opportunity to network, collaborate, re-charge, and celebrate each other’s unique contribution to “financial smarts for students.” Congratulations again, Dr. Delsa, your Dunbar and LRSD family are so excited for you!
