Abstract

The program to strengthen healthy lifestyles and financial literacy for students at SD Negeri 2 Sumerta was implemented to increase students' awareness and basic skills in maintaining health and managing finances from an early age. This activity was based on common problems in elementary schools, such as poor hygiene habits, a lack of understanding about healthy food choices, and an inability to manage pocket money. The implementation methods included interactive socialization, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and evaluation of student understanding through simple tests and behavioral observation. The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge and changes in student behavior, such as the habit of washing hands, choosing nutritious foods, and starting to save money and distinguish between needs and wants. This program was able to instill positive habits and basic skills that are beneficial for student development and can be used as a learning model to be applied in other schools.
