~ 8th Grade Reality Store~
The Reality Store is a financial simulation that allows 8th graders to learn more about career planning, money management and budgeting, and decision making. Students go through the process of choosing a career, receiving a “paycheck,” and learning to budget their pay to meet monthly expenses, along with unexpected expenses. We are so grateful for the many volunteers who help make this event so successful.

8th Grade students completed a portion of their Education Development Plan (EDP) with our Career Navigator this week. The purpose of the Educational Development Plan (EDP) is to examine skills and tools necessary to to develop a student's statement of career goals and a plan of action for reaching them. Throughout the year, students participate in career development activities/workshops, visit local businesses/industries as well as visit colleges to experience programming options to gauge career interests.
