Get a Life.....
On November 12th, our 7th & 8th graders will be participating in the Get a Life program. They will have a "fake" family, job and expenses.
I need 18 board approved volunteers. It will run 8 am to approx 9:30 am.
Volunteers just man a table. You are given a script so you know exactly what to tell the student. (WV Treasury office has this down pat).
Example: Students move from station to station, obtaining gasoline or furniture from a community volunteer or other volunteers randomly hand card to students with unexpected expenses such as health scare of a broken down car.
This is a great exposure to the students for budgeting and to think about higher education beyond high school.
Please consider to be part of this experience! Email me and let me know if you can be a volunteer! judith.pauley@k12.wv.us
