Representatives from the Ohio Treasurer’s Office were in town to present a proclamation by Treasurer Josh Mandel congratulating LHS Government teacher Ron Lewis on being a champion for financial literacy education.
For the last three years, Lewis’ students have been using the Everfi software program to teach students about financial literacy. The program is generously funded each year by First Federal of Lakewood.
Jessic Dragar, economic development and financial education officer in the Treasurer’s Office, said an EverFi representative alerted the office to Lewis’ work. “We heard he was doing great things in Lakewood and we wanted to recognize that,” Dragar said. Lewis is one of about 15 teachers being recognized throughout the state.
Dragar praised Lakewood for integrating financial literacy with technology through the EverFi program. “Not many school districts are doing that,” she said.
