Real Money, Real World is a hands on simulation geared towards eighth graders. Students budget a month on a life that is created for them in part by choices and part by chance.

Real world costs consist from housing to clothing, insurance to entertainment, car loans to child care and many things in between! It is always interesting to see where priorities are with kids and how they choose to get there!

We would like to extend our appreciation to all of the volunteers who helped with Real Money, Real World this week in the East Holmes school district.
