On Tuesday, I helped judge the National Foundation for Credit Counseling's Financial Literacy Poster Contest. Elementary, middle, and high school students submitted over 4,000 posters, all illustrating the theme of why they are going to be millionaires. (Becoming a chef or a fashion designer were two popular answers from the high school crowd.)

Here is part of the winning poster for middle school, created by Jessica Shenoi of Tulsa, Oklahoma:

Thanks - I used the location based on the high school because that was how the contest identified them - but good to know!

Just to let you know, Leah Ellyson is from Carolina, West Virginia, not Farmington. Farmington is where she attends school.
