SHS Financial Reality Fair
A financial reality fair is a simulation of an adult’s financial life that allows participants to experience making financial decisions and managing money. Participants can experience what it is like to manage an account at a financial institution, make money-related decisions, obtain a loan, manage debt, and more. For youth, a reality fair can be an eye-opening, exciting, and fun way to build financial knowledge and skills.
​
Every year, the entire junior class will attend the SHS Financial Reality Fair. Each student will be assigned an occupation, allotted a comparable salary, and given a budget planning form in advance. During the fair, they will be required to visit multiple booths that represent a variety of common living expenses. By the end of the fair, they will have had to develop an acceptable monthly budget and overcome any unexpected financial obstacles.
​
This SHS PTSO Educational program is possible thanks to our families’ donations during the annual SHS PTSO Sponsorship drive.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!
Please consider volunteering for the SHS Financial Reality Fair on Friday, November 14th 7:45 a.m. to noon. For this event to happen, we need approximately 70 volunteers.
As a volunteer, you would help at the booths and present our students with the monetary facts and challenges that adults in the ‘real world’ typically face. There is a training video available and PTSO representatives will be available for questions.
We would really appreciate it if you could commit to join us before October 30th, so we can plan our volunteer needs accordingly.
