On Thursday, April 9th, 8th grade students participated in the Get A Life budget simulation, presented by the West Virginia State Treasurer's Office.
During this personal financial education program, students are launched into the future where they have graduated high school and have a full-time job. Some have spouses and families, but all have bills to pay! Students will travel to each station to buy homes, cars, food, and other needs and wants. Throughout this event, students have the opportunity to switch careers to see how that changes their monthly budget and plans.
