Congratulations to the six seniors who won over $10,000 in scholarships.
8th Grade students participated in a Real World simulation today. Each student was asked to select a career. Then, they had to make decisions and "payments" related to everyday life, such as insurance, car, housing, food, etc. After recording their income and payments, each student was able to evaluate their financial state according to their decisions. If you have an eight grade student, ask them if they had enough money to make it through the month.
