I'm excited to announce that we'll be partnering (again) this year with Junior Achievement to complete the "Finance Park" program!
The Finance Park program is a financial literacy curriculum for high school students. The program includes a comprehensive 100+ page workbook with topics ranging from financial planning and budgeting, credit and debit cards, taxes, investments, and salaries, just to name a few.
Along with the in-class curriculum, there is also an opportunity for students to visit the brand new Junior Achievement facility at Camp North End for a 1-day field trip. We're planning the field trip for Friday, May 1st, 2020.
