🌟 Another AWESOME Community Day! 🌟

We started by reviewing financial literacy in the classroom 💵📚 and then took those skills into the community with a grocery shopping trip to Walmart! 🛒 Our students practiced budgeting, making choices, comparing prices, and even purchasing their own snacks! 💳🍪

After all that hard work, we cooled off with some delicious rasps from SnowWiz! 🍧😋 A HUGE thank you to SnowWiz for being such an awesome community partner and always supporting our students! 💙

Learning + independence + community = a GREAT day! 🙌

A New Chapter for Edgar!

💵🛒 First Community Day of the New School Year! 🎉

We had a great first Community Day! Our students started the day in the classroom learning and practicing important money management skills. 💰🧮

Then, we took those skills to the gym, where students got some hands-on practice at different store stations! 🛍️ Students worked on making purchases, counting money, making choices, and using real-world skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Of course, we had to finish things off with a tasty lunchtime snack—nachos! 🧀😋

It was a fun and productive day filled with learning, independence, and real-life experiences. What a great way to kick off our Community Days for the new school year! 💙📚✨
