On August 17th the High School kicked off their first "Adulting Day" with an activity called Mad City put on by 1st MidAmerica Credit Union. During this activity students were paired and then assigned random monthly incomes before traveling to different booths like housing, child care, etc. The object was to visit all 9 booths and stay within their monthly income budget without going in the negative.
The kindergarten class is doing great! We are looking forward to watching this group learn and grow over the year!
