Reality Store

Thanks to our wonderful volunteers in the community MHS held a Reality Store.
What is a reality store?

Reality Store is financial simulation where high school students choose careers and make decisions about their budgets and lifestyles. The activity is a fun and effective way for students to learn about personal accounting, financial responsibility and life choices and interact with business people.

The project involves 20-plus local business volunteers. Students receive “paychecks” and random information regarding individual marital status and parenthood. Volunteers staff stations around the media center.

Stations include taxes, financial institution, real estate, apartment rentals, apparel, car dealer, credit cards, day care, gasoline, charities, memberships, entertainment, “fate,” gasoline, government, grocery store, insurance, investments, household products, phone company, cable TV and utilities. (Schools determine their own stations.) Students visit the stations, write checks and balance their checkbooks. Upon completion, they assess their decisions and financial status.
