Juniors and Seniors participated in the "Reality Fair" put on by TBA Credit Union. Each student was given a profile that included income, family and credit history. They had to build a monthly budget including housing, transportation, food and other expenses.
Students who ended with a positive balance were entered into a drawing and nine students won gift cards. Thank you TBA Credit Union for this hands on learning experience for our students.
