(St. Leon, IN) – East Central Middle School 8th graders had the chance to experience the ups and downs of adult life at WRBI’s Reality Check on Wednesday.
Students had to choose careers, budget, and deal with everyday situations.
The 8th graders, educators, and volunteers say the experience provides a valuable lesson about the challenges faced by adults.
“Just the opportunity to see how a budget is put together, to learn how jobs choices impact you later on, and to see kiddos enjoy themselves makes for a great day,” said ECMS Assistant Principal Julia Schroder.
