Wishing your student knew a little bit more about the concept of managing money?
The Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union will be addressing that topic by bringing their Financial Reality Fair to the STEM Academy on Wednesday, April 12th. This is a fun yet educational day for all Juniors, who are each assigned a random “life scenario”. They will learn how to make financial decisions based on a monthly salary and budget to meet basic needs, such as housing, transportation, food and child care. Students visit 15 booths withoptions for using their money to save, spend, share and earn–plus–get lucky on the “Wheel of Possibilities”. FMFCU Financial Counselors are available throughout the experience to help balance the budgets and offer advice. This fair is open to all 11th grade students.
