This week Parchment Middle School partnered with Arbor Financial Credit Union to deliver a real-life budgeting experience to students. 💼💰 Students were assigned careers, salaries, and family situations, then navigated real-life expenses such as housing, food, and transportation. They made budgeting decisions and tracked their spending. This hands-on activity brought financial literacy to life and highlighted the importance of smart money choices!
