He's a former Detroit Lions first round draft pick out of the University of Virginia. But Herman Moore had more to talk about than football in Flint today. He was talking about money.
It was for a statewide rollout of an educational video game and classroom curriculum called Financial Football. The event also featured Michigan State Treasurer Andy Dillon. It was sponsored by Michigan Jump$tart and Visa, Inc. It was held at the International Academy in Flint.
Financial Football helps students and adults tackle their financial futures. The game incorporates lessons taught through Practical Money Skills for Life (www.practicalmoneyskills.com), a free, award-winning money management program. The game is accompanied by a classroom curriculum and is being distributed to every private and charter middle and high school in the state of Michigan by Treasurer Dillon’s office. It has already been provided to every public middle and high school in the state.
