Trackside, Teen Center of Wilton

Emily Smith, a Senior Girl Scout in Wilton and member of the Class of 2029 at Wilton High School, has published a first-of-its-kind financial wellness learning journal for middle schoolers as her Girl Scout Gold Award project—and she wants you to have a copy for free!
The book combines traditional financial education with reflective journaling to help young people build confidence around money management. For each financial concept, readers will find a brief explanation, a real-world case study, comprehension questions, and a journaling prompt designed to help them connect the financial concept their own lives and emotions.
“Financial stress is one of the top causes of anxiety for adults,” said Smith. “My goal is to get kids comfortable with financial concepts in middle school so that as they grow up, they can feel confident building financial wellness.”
The project builds on Smith’s Silver Award work, through which she organized the “Get Moving” Festival focused on mental health and wellness for tweens and teens. Recognizing that financial stress is deeply tied to mental health, Smith used that work to build this resource.&nbsp;
Before publishing, Smith field-tested the book with Girl Scout Troop 50373 in Wilton, administering pre- and post-assessments to measure learning. She also piloted the material with a multi-age troop in Virginia. Results showed knowledge gains across all age groups, with the most significant improvements in more complex financial concepts. Smith used that data to refine the book before publication.
Said Norfolk VA troop leader Emily Goodman-Scott, “Emi did a great job with making it easy to understand. The girls actually absorbed the information. We used the book as a discussion point so that combination of discussion and journaling was impactful to our girls.”&nbsp;
Since its release, the book has already been distributed at Pierrepont School in Westport and the Unquowa School in Fairfield. It was also distributed at the Ms. President US election. Smith has also donated the book to Darien Book Aid to send copies around the globe.
Free copies are now available to any and all at Trackside Teen Center during open hours — just stop by and ask (while supplies last)!&nbsp; Girl Scout leaders and teachers can also download any portion of the book at no cost at www.futurefinance101.com to use with their students and troops and parents can feel free to download and use for summer enrichment.

Lakeview Cemetery

VFW Seeks Volunteers and Donations for Flag Placing at Lakeview Cemetery on Saturday, May 16 at 8am
Volunteers are wanted to assist VFW Post 653 in New Canaan to place flags at the graves of fallen soldiers in their honor for Memorial Day. All are welcome to participate on Saturday, May 16, from 8am to 10am at the Lakeview Cemetery on Main Street in New Canaan. We will meet at the lower Veterans’ section (Section M), just to the right after you enter from Main Street and cross the bridge. Refreshments will be served. The VFW removes the flags it places, so that these flags may be reused next year. Removing the flags, is following proper flag etiquette and protocol established at Arlington Cemetery, and of course, has the added benefit of reusing flags, thereby reducing waste and conserving funds. Removing flags is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 6 at 8am, but unlike flag placement, is weather dependent.
Memorial poppies will be available for any donation made to New Canaan VFW Post 653 the Saturday and Sunday of May 16 and 17 and of Memorial Day weekend at several New Canaan businesses (ACME, Dunkin Donuts, Walter Stewart’s Market and Zumbachs). Post 653 uses fundraising proceeds to pay for flags and wreaths that are laid on Memorial Day and during the Christmas season on veterans’ graves at Lakeview and other cemeteries in New Canaan.
If you know of a veteran interred in New Canaan who has not been remembered and honored with a flag and wreath, please contact Mike McGlinn, Commander VFW Post 653 know at 203 962 1302.
Tax deductible donations to the New Canaan VFW can be made via check to: Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 653 P.O. BOX 653 New Canaan, CT 06840
Or use the following link to Donate:
