7th and 8th grade traveled to Bonlee School to participate in the Coastal Credit Reality Series where they learn about career choices, budgeting money for a month based on their given “career”. They are given mock situations and “bills” to pay. They also learned about different types of banking accounts and the importance of saving a little money for those unexpected events. Fun was had by all! 🐾
