The American Schools at War program was a program during World War II run by the U.S. Treasury department, in which school children set goals to sell stamps and bonds to help the war effort. The program was also administered by the U.S. Office of Education, which was the Federal government agency that interfaced with the nation's school systems and its thirty-two million students. The office however allowed the Treasury to work with the schools directly as the main objective of the program was raising money.
