Kaimuki High: PYF

PYF is the new text shortcut for students in Kaimuki High School's accounting class. "Pay Yourself First" was the mantra at the first session on goal setting & budgeting and what most of the students remembered by the last.

BANK OF HAWAII branch managers, Reid Hinaga, Kapahulu; Rowena Pingol, Manoa; Keith Shiroma, Waikiki; Daniel Yokoo, Kaimuki & Estelle Awaya, Kaimuki Personal Banking Officer taught five sessions of the JA NEFE High School Financial Planning Program covering goal setting, budgeting, saving, investment choices, credit, identity theft, fraud and insurance to a crowded room of 32 students. And wrapped up with a fun, thought-provoking game that recapped the financial life lessons.

"My students felt really special having these important members of our community take time out of their busy schedules to teach them. The volunteers were great and would make fantastic teachers if they ever want to give up banking!"
