The program has launched a video featuring Mrs. Northam reading aloud from “Save It,” a book in the popular Moneybunny series by Cinders McLeod.
The book, which is one of three book selections in this year’s Reading Makes Cents challenge, offers an introduction to simple money concepts as a little bunny learns about the power and satisfaction that come with saving money.
The video, along with resources, will be posted at Readingmakescents.com, and on VCEE s YouTube and Facebook pages to provide easy access for teachers, students and parents.

The Pacific Life Foundation 3Ts of Education program will award a total of $58,000 in grants to 16 Virginia K-12 schools where concentrations of children and grandchildren of Pacific Life employees attend. The educational grants are designed to support needs in the areas of teacher training, textbooks or technology.
The Pacific Life Foundation not only provides funding to organizations, but also supports these organizations through volunteer efforts with the Pacific Life Good Guys program. In 2021, Pacific Life and its employees will continue to support its annual United Way campaign, during which the Pacific Life Foundation matches every dollar donated by employees. Additionally, the Pacific Life Foundation will continue to match all employee donations to nonprofits and universities.
