Mall of Life Event
Our Mall of Life event was a great success.
6th & 7th grade students that went through the Mall of Life were from Dakota, Freeport, Orangeville, Pearl City, Pecatonica, Homeshoolers and TriCounty.
Students learned how to balance their expense ledgers, pay for housing, buy a car or 2, purchase insurance, pay for medical, dental and vision, buy a phone, pay for daycare, and buy clothes and groceries. They also had the opportunity to vote, buy a pet and purchase a vacation. There were also a few surprises that cost them to repair household items and maybe receive money back from the IRS.
A huge thank you to our CareerTEC students in Careers in Business, Culinary Arts, Construction Trades and HOYA 2 along with their instructors for all their help in making this event possible for the younger students. Thank you to the ladies at Citizen's State Bank for coming in to help run our "Bank"
