LITTLETON — Superintendent Kelly Clenchy is pleased to announce that Littleton High School students recently participated in the school’s second annual financial literacy fair.
The financial literacy fair took place on Tuesday, May 21. The event was designed to help students learn how to budget, manage, and spend their money responsibly.
Students were asked to provide their choice of career earlier this year in preparation for the event. On the day of the fair, students received a folio with a career profile, a mock paycheck, an assigned credit score (reflective of their attendance), and a budget worksheet.
During the event, students visited 13 stations where they had to make typical financial decisions they may face as a young adult. Booths included housing, furniture, food, health insurance, clothing, transportation, philanthropy/community service, education, luxuries, insurance (car and renter), savings, investing, and retirement, the Reality Wheel of fortune or misfortune, and budget counseling.
“The financial literacy fair is an amazing event for our students to assume adult responsibility as they prepare to enter the world outside of high school,” said Superintendent Clenchy. “Thank you to all who helped put this event together!”
