get real, here's the deal

DeWitt Middle School 8th grade students participated in Get Real-Here’s the Deal! It's a hands-on experiential simulation that gives youth the opportunity to experience their future in a financial decision-making mode. They are encouraged to make wise financial lifestyle choices similar to those that adults face each month. As youth move from station to station they make decisions based on their family size and affordability. The sessions include financial management lessons, a personal finance simulation, and a follow-up/evaluation discussion. Thanks to Mrs. Emily Fisher and Mrs. Alta Lockley for organizing the annual even and thank you to all the presenters!
