Woodland High Reality Store

Description

The Etowah Scholarship Foundation Reality Store for Woodland High Freshmen is scheduled for:
                                           
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
At Woodland Performing Art Center
 
With our program, the 9^th graders take a test on line that tells them what kind of job they would be good at.  Then they are given an income for starting that job.

They bring that information to our Reality Store and draw out of a hat if they are married, single, with or without kids, how many, etc.  With all this information they start visiting tables to pay taxes, put the money in a bank, pay child care, get a house, a car, etc.  They pay bills for a month out of their net salary.  We even have an Out of Money Table where they have to get a second job.

This is our 4^th year and we have had so many great stories from this.   Our first year, I asked a group of 9^th grade boys what they had learned and they said “Kids are expensive!”. 
 
Approximately 450 students will be participating. We are in need of nearly 85 to 95 volunteers to serve on this date. Please let us know if you are interested in working AM (7:30a-11:30a), PM (11:30-3:00), or both.

As we will have a light breakfast and lunch for our volunteers.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Brenda Cooper at BCooper@centurybanknet.com.
