Lakeside School District students participated in the Get Real: Here’s the Deal simulation today! 💰📚

Students had the opportunity to learn valuable, real-life financial skills, including bank accounts, savings, deposits, credit, debit, and balancing a checkbook. They visited different stations and made real-life financial decisions, such as purchasing a home, buying a car and insurance, paying for childcare, and so much more! 🏠🚗💳

This hands-on experience gave students a chance to see firsthand how the financial choices they make can impact their everyday lives. What a great day of learning and preparing for the future! 👏🏼

Thank you to Mrs. Tammie Marshall and Mrs. Debra Jones for letting us conduct this wonderful program with the students!
