"Mr. Mortazavi discussed several financial literacy topics in my Algebra I class, including savings and checking accounts, debt, and scholarship information. My class was truly engaged and learned a lot! So, a HUGE thank you to Mr. Mortazavi for doing an excellent job! Also, a HUGE thank you to The Education Fund for providing my students with an opportunity to experience different ways math can impact their future lives.”
