💸 What does it cost to live alone? Thanks to Coastal Credit Union, 7th-grade students at Bonlee and Bennett took part in the Banking Reality series, an interactive financial literacy experience.

Thanks to this educational initiative, students were given a mock monthly income and had to navigate real-life expenses such as rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation while staying within budget. Along the way, they learned how quickly costs add up and the importance of planning, saving, and making informed financial choices.

Experiences like this help prepare our students for life beyond the classroom! #OneChatham
