8th grade financial literacy class begins Monday

Mrs. Hennig has put together a good financial literacy curriculum for the 8th grade. This is a new class that will meet the need for students to understand how money works. Class topics are
1. Jobs and Salary
2. Automobiles
3. Insurance
4. Checking accounts
5. Savings
6. Interest

We hope that students will gain an understanding of how to manage their finances and can avoid the pitfalls of getting into debt after high school. We also want students to understand that going to college is affordable if they manage their money.
