Alex at Biz Town

Alex got to participate in a really unique experience this year called "Biz Town".  The students spend weeks in the classroom learning about money, checking accounts, how to balance a check book, make a deposit and use the funds that they work for.  Each kid has to work at a specific place (Smith's, Maverick, The utility co among many other places).  They then receive a paycheck, have to deposit it in the bank (with the kids who are working at the bank) and manage their money.  they then have 2 - 15 minute breaks where they get to spend their hard earned money.  It is such a great experience for these kids to see how hard you have to work for things and learn to manage your money. 
Alex was assigned to work at Maverick and had a blast!
