On March 31st, our 10th grade students took part in a hands-on Financial Reality experience! Each student was given a monthly salary based on their chosen career and challenged to create a budget covering real-life expenses like housing, transportation, and more. Many quickly discovered just how expensive independent living can be and this was an eye-opening and valuable lesson!
We are especially grateful to Belco Community Credit Union for their continued commitment to providing high-quality financial education to our students at no cost. NSD truly appreciates this meaningful partnership.
Over 25 community volunteers spent the day working alongside our students, helping make this experience both impactful and memorable—thank you for your time and support!
And a special shout out to our Nutrition Group Cafeteria staff for providing a delicious, spring-inspired lunch to keep everyone fueled throughout the day! 🌸
