💰📊 Learning how to budget for the future! 📊💰

Mrs. Brown’s Career Prep class has been learning all about saving money and creating a budget! To put their knowledge into action, students created posters demonstrating the 50/30/20 budgeting rule. 📝💵

This fun, hands-on project gave students the opportunity to think about how everyday expenses are categorized and how making smart financial decisions can help them plan for the future!

Great job, Panthers! 🖤❤️🐾

Our Club Days give all of our 9th graders and new students an opportunity to see what clubs we have to offer them so they can get involved in service to the community! They can sign up for any club that matches their interests during their Panther Period. This gives them the chance to join upperclassmen who are already club members and take part in the many service opportunities throughout the year. We are so proud of all of our clubs, their sponsors, and their members!
