Graduate Yelm!
Partners in Our Network
October 21, 2019
Each student will be on a path (starting in kindergarten)
to graduation, continuing education and work.
SPREADING THE MESSAGE
If all of our 105 partners recruited one Personal Pledge, we would hit our goal. Have you asked a colleague, customer, client, or neighbor to join in your effort to help our students prepare for their future?
It doesn't take much. In fact, most of us do these thing every day. However, we want to do it with intent and show our students that every where they go, someone cares about their future plans.
GRADUATION READINESS
Financial Reality Fair
Almost 100 students in Career Choices, Office Management, Financial Literacy and Accounting participated in the "Game of Life." They were given a entry level employment job with pay and had to make choices to make ends meet. Amazing support from our over 40 business volunteers served as sales people and financial consultants helping students learn to manage their money, make choices about loans and credit, and balance wants and needs. Students and volunteers unanimously said, "Definitely would do this again!" Our next event will be Feb 20.
From this event a Financial Literacy Advisory Committee has been formed to think about ways to provide resources, workshops and trainings for our K-12 students and parents. Look for future opportunities to participate soon.
