FREMONT, MI (April 25, 2023) — Gerber Federal Credit Union (Gerber FCU) staff read the book Owl + Otter and the Big Yard Sale which was written specifically for Michigan Credit Unions and the Smart Money Kids Read Program. It’s the day of the Big Yard Sale, and Owl, Otter, and their friends are selling yummy cookies and lemonade. But adding up how much customers need to pay for these treats can be tricky. With plenty of teamwork, a little bit of chaos, and Otter’s 10 wiggly toes to help, there’s nothing these cheery animal friends can’t figure out. This charming, humorous story helps children practice counting and addition, and introduces them to the world of money.
Following the book read, staff discussed good money management and presented every student, their teacher and their school library with a copy of the book! Gerber Federal Credit Union donated a total of XXX books to the following school districts: Big Jackson, Fremont, Fremont Christian, Grant Christian, Grant, Hesperia, Holton, Newaygo and White Cloud.
