An Amazing Week of Learning
The Edgewood chapter of the FCCLA ( Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) sponsored a Real Money/Real World event. Real financial/life simulation for our FX students. After months of planning Mrs. Gregory and the event student coordinators presented a incredible successful day.
The program gave students a real life scenario, where they had to budget and maintain a household with an assigned income. Students were given (by a random drawing) a career/job, an income and a predetermined household with dependents.
With the generous help of local businesses and volunteers our students saw how an occupation affects income, how to budget and how finances can quickly deplete when paying for the necessities of life.
Senior reporter Kyle Grand reported on the event throughout the day on the Edgewood City Schools facebook page.
