Our 4th graders recently took part in an exciting and educational “Game of Life” event! Students visited different stations set up by local businesses and community members, where they had the chance to make real-world financial decisions. From buying cars and houses to paying for groceries, taxes, and bills, each student experienced what it’s like to manage money and make smart choices. Some were even lucky enough to win a little extra cash! It was a fun, hands-on way to learn about responsibility, budgeting, and life in the real world.
