Financial Literacy Reality Fair
​
A reality fair is a simulation of an adult’s financial life that allows participants to experience making financial decisions and managing money. Participants can experience what it is like to manage an account at a financial institution, make money-related decisions, obtain a loan, manage debt, and more. For youth, a reality fair can be an eye-opening, exciting, and fun way to build financial knowledge and skills.
Every year, the entire junior class will attend the SHS Financial Reality Fair. Each student will be assigned an occupation, allotted a comparable salary, and given a budget planning form in advance. During the fair, they will be required to visit multiple booths that represent a variety of common living expenses. By the end of the fair, they will have had to develop an acceptable monthly budget and overcome any unexpected financial obstacles.

Jon Mattleman – 4/27/15 – 50 Shades of … Parenting: Before they have children, adults often think idyllically about what their child will grow up to be like. Of course, by the time that child enters the "teen years," the vision of a harmonious and peaceful life is often a distant memory! Every parent of a teen knows that learning more about this life stage not only helps their child grow in healthy ways, but also benefits parents... and for that matter, everyone else in the house!
This workshop addresses: What teens really want from parents, How parents can manage their own expectations, What teens are stressed by, How parents can assist teens in improving their mental health. Free Community Event - Adults Only
