ReplyDeleteIntroducing ThreeJars, a revolutionary new web service designed to teach kids about money and the importance of giving back!
ReplyDeleteWe make a parent's life easier by automating allowance. The name ThreeJars represents a child's save, spend, and share money. Kids (6-13) have fun, earning, tracking and saving their money, and are instilled with healthy money habits. ThreeJars is not a bank. We do not hold money.
Although just launched, we have received the attention of financial expert and award winning journalist Jean Chatzky of NBC's Today Show, and the Fox Business Channel. You can also see our Founder and CEO Anton Simunovic on CBS on September 27. With back-to-school and family finances top-of-mind, there is no better time to get our children on the right financial path.
Check out ThreeJars and see how we:
1. Transform how kids think about money,
2. Accelerate kids' interest in saving, and
3. Teach concrete charitable giving.
Here's how you can help your community and empower their kids:
1. Blog about us and raise awareness,
2. Write a ThreeJars Review and earn a Free 1-Year Family Membership ($30 value) and a 33% discount for your readers (please contact us for your special promo code), and/or
3. Offer five free memberships to your community as you see fit (contests, give-aways, etc).
To check-us out or write reviews, use promotion code VIP1234 at sign-up for a two week trial without needing to input credit card information.
We know your time is valuable and that you want to be of service to you audience. Thanks for your consideration.
Please contact us with any questions or to receive your Free Memberships.
Warm regards,
The ThreeJars Team

Great post. I found a great non-profit that has been helping disadvantaged school districts and has had many success stories improving student achievement in Math, SAT and ACT including Collier County, FL and St. Landry Parish, LA. Their site is www.cyberlearning.org. CyberLearning also offers Technology courses
ReplyDeletethat many schools could find useful.

ReplyDeleteKids do not have to fail! There are so many resources that can help kids with mathematics. I agree totally that you have to teach your baby math at a young age. Teach them about money, and how to save it that way when they grow up they will excel in school and in life. Great post!!
