Instead of flipping through pages, students gave Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad a voice, an audience, and a heartbeat. What is often discussed in classrooms and homes became a story acted out with humor, emotion, and plenty of truth.

Students stepped into the roles, showing how financial choices affect families, schools, and everyday life. Their confidence grew with each scene, and the message landed in a way that felt close to home.

Parents clapped, laughed, and at times sat quietly in thought. Partner schools called it the most engaging event of the year, and for HAL it was proof that financial literacy can be taught in ways that stay with both students and families.
