Doniphan West Jr./Sr. High School will host a financial literacy event known as Reality U on Friday March 24. This event will assist our students in understanding the realities involved in the steps towards adulthood and an employable future. The goal is to learn about the correlation between fiscal well-being, academic achievement and financial literacy, while role playing real life situations.
Participating students are provided an adult scenario complete with marital status, number of children, occupation and net monthly income. They then visit a variety of booths operated by community volunteers to purchase housing, transportation, childcare, food, utilities and insurance just to name a few.
This is where we need your help. We are in need of community members to stage the event. No experience or special skills necessary. Brief training provided at the event and then the fun begins!
