Reality Fairs
A Reality Fair is an interactive financial tool for middle school students. The eighth grade students visit the five high schools to get a glimpse of reality. Students come with a monthly salary amount and visit tables set up for real life expenses. Volunteers work tables that simulate real life activities, such as buying or renting a home/apartment, purchasing insurance, paying for daycare and groceries. In addition to the fair, each of the school’s Career Pathways will have displays available for students to preview. These may include Career Pathways such as Personal Care Services, Automotive, Healthcare Science, etc. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions from high school students at the displays.
