Reality Fair On Presidents Day, October 2011, Telco Plus Credit Union hosted a Reality Fair for the 7th and 8th grade students of Pine Tree Junior High. Prior to attending the Reality Fair, the students underwent 3 days of financial training and literacy where they learned basic check balancing skills and how to write a check, identity theft and fraud, and how and why to save money. The students also chose their careers and their annual starting salary was figured for them. Once they arrived at the Reality Fair, the students took their career, their annual salary, and then had to visit each booth to make financial decisions about their housing, utilities, and auto purchases, to name a few. All in all, the students found this to be an eye-opening learning experience and put their financial outlook in perspective. Click on the link below to read their comments.
