Bruriah Middle School is preparing their girls for the future. During an eight-week specialty course, the girls in seventh grade are learning about financial literacy. Through fun activities and the guidance of Leah Schwartz, they will have a solid foundation to help them grow into financially responsible adults. With a budget of $50, the girls worked in small groups to “purchase” school supplies. The concept of comparison shopping was an eye opener. Aviva Ertel said, “It is fun to learn how to spend money properly and wisely.” Future topics of study include understanding wants vs. needs and the value of saving money. This initiative is designed to adequately prepare students for life and it has been a great success.
