On Wednesday, November 19th, the 7th & 8th graders attended a skit called "Cash Course Learning About Earning," which was centered around the concept of Financial Literacy. Financial Literacy is a 21st Century Skill, which is important for our students to understand as they become young adults.
The skit was interactive allowing students to participate throughout the 40-minute production. The National Theatre for Children put on the show.
The show emphasized the following:
1. Wages minus deductions equal take-home pay;
2. Saving and investing have different levels of risk;
3. Credit and debit cards have differences;
4. Forming a savings habit is important.
Student feedback about the show was positive. We hope the students learned some important tips that will help them as they become young adults.
