MVHS put on its "Reality Check University" today. The 9th-12th grade got the chance to do 'adulting' financial activities. The kids learned how good or bad certain decisions can affect their yearly income. They were given an annual salary and had to search for and buy a house, search for and buy a car, get insurance for both, and pay for repairs to both. They also learned about how much pets actually cost, how much hospital bills are, the importance of health insurance, and lastly what it costs you get arrested. Coverage was done by WIBW, so look for the news tonight.
We had 11 community vendors show up to help the students. I want to especially thank Mark Hoelting (Flint Hills Bank), Diane Turnbull (Flint Hills Insurance), Brittany & Michael Wiseman (Countrywide Realty), Duane Lister (Maple Hill Truck & Auto), JD Hill (Circle J Construction), Dr. Jenny Howe (Westport Animal Clinic), Garick Gehrt (Alma Coop), Tim Liesmann (Wabaunsee County Attorney), the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps, the Kansas Army National Guard, our own SRO Angie King, and also our own Nurse Josey Marcotte and Clerk of the Board Tasha Raine. #VikingReality #nofreelunchhere #lifecostsmoney #lifescurveballs
