Description
The Reality Store is a financial literacy event in which students learn basic skills in financial planning, goal setting, decision making, and career planning. The Reality Store will help students examine their attitudes about their futures and career expectations. After their trip through The Reality Store, students will have developed a more realistic idea of the financial impact their future decisions will have.
Event Overview:
- Prior to the event students choose the future career and receive their monthly salary deposited in their checking account.
- Students enter The Reality Store with their check book. They first stop at “Uncle Sam” for their tax deduction. They then proceed to “The Bank/Credit Union” for their student loan deduction. Students then have to visit 13 other booths making purchases for their life. Ex: buy a car, home, groceries, utilities, etc...
- Staff one of the various booths
- Assist students in making wise financial choices based on their salary
- No experience necessary
- Learn basic skills in financial planning, goal setting, decision making and career planning
- Help students examine their attitudes about their futures and career expectations
- Develop a more realistic idea of the financial impact their future decisions will have.
We appreciate your commitment to our area youth and look forward to your participation and support in this most exciting event. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Melissa Radandt at (920) 684-5575 or melissa@chambermanitowoccounty.org.
Please note: Volunteers will receive an email approximately one week prior with specific start times (times will differ based on each school’s specific schedule – but will remain close to the 7:45-11am schedule) as well as instructions on where to park and where to enter.
Note from Kiel High School: Last year our board updated our volunteering policy to recognize that while having volunteers in our schools is a great thing for both our students and the adults, our biggest priority is the safety of the students. A layer of that is for everyone who comes into our buildings to work with our kids, have a background check completed to provide a layer of safety for our students. Below is the district policy in its entirety if you need it for reference.
