The Central Senior Class is engaged in a “Reality Check” simulation on money management. Students are assigned an identity and must make daily/monthly/annual financial decisions for that character. So far student feedback is very positive!
Central community, check out this short video about Seesaw and how you can stay connected with what your child is learning at school!

Life Changes 2 class solved a Break Out Box activity. They helped a 40 year old Steve. At a recent doctor appointment he found out that his recent blood test showed that he is at a high risk for having a heart attack. His Total Cholesterol was 245, his father died of a heart attack at 55 years old and he is overweight by 30 pounds. The teams helped Steve find out what his goal should be for his Total Cholesterol to open the Break Out Box and then navigate the rest of the obstacles to unlock the keys to his long term health and avoid a HEART ATTACK!
