FEPPP brings together individuals from public and private sector in an effort to provide quality financial education. For info see FEPPP.org.

In 2009 the legislature passed SHB 1347, which led to the adoption of RCW 28A.300.450(link is external), extending the efforts of Financial Literacy Public-Private Partnership (FLPPP) by creating the Financial Education Public-Private Partnership (FEPPP). The committee brings together individuals from both the public and private sector in an effort to provide quality financial education for students in the public school system.

In today's digital world, we are constantly surrounded by information, advertising, social media, and online content. But how do we know what to believe? U.S. Media Literacy Week, October 26–30, 2026, is a great opportunity to help everyone develop the critical thinking skills they need to navigate an increasingly complex media landscape.

Hosted by the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE), the 12th annual celebration brings together educators, students, and organizations nationwide to highlight the importance of media literacy. The week focuses on five essential skills: Access, Analyze, Evaluate, Create, and Act, with a different skill highlighted each day.

Looking for classroom-ready ideas? NAMLE offers free resources, lesson ideas, and activities for educators at all grade levels. Teachers can also incorporate media literacy into their existing lessons. Have students analyze a social media advertisement. Encourage students to ask: Who created this message? What is its purpose? Is the information trustworthy? What might the creator want me to do?

From misleading advertisements and social media influencers promoting products to investment scams and get-rich-quick schemes, we all need to recognize how media messages can influence our financial decisions. Learning to question sources, identify persuasive techniques, and distinguish credible financial information from misinformation are essential financial life skills!

October is National Economic Education Month!
This observance highlights the value of teaching economics and connecting it to everyday life. Educators, families, and community leaders can celebrate in simple ways. Families can talk about how they make household decisions, from comparing prices to planning a budget. Educators can weave a money or economics concept into a lesson each day or week—even in subjects where students might not expect it! Need inspiration?
Check out the Council for Economic Education’s (CEE) website, econedmonth.org, featuring lessons, activities, videos, and games for each day of the month.

It was a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and showcase the great work happening in Washington financial education.
