Challenge Goals
Ophea has partnered with Meridian Credit Union to launch the Wallet Wellness Classroom Challenge, a financial literacy challenge for Ontario teachers and students intended to increase student’s understanding of financial basics to successfully navigate today’s complex financial world. The Wallet Wellness Classroom Challenge encourages the use of the Wallet Wellness activities that include curriculum expectations from the Health and Physical Education, Math and language curricula.
Participation in this challenge will provide students with opportunities to explore healthy living skills while considering how financial choices and decisions affect our overall well-being.
