This event is a simulation designed to help students to learn the significance of education and making sound financial decisions as adults in the “real world”.
The event will have two sessions available from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 10:35 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. All-day volunteers (9:00 a.m. – 12:05 p.m.) are preferred and lunch will be provided. You may sign up to volunteer directly at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050B4DABAA23A4F85-reality
If you are unable to stay for both sessions but would still like to volunteer, or if you have additional questions, please contact Mary Sadler at (252)926-0221 ext. 3344 or mfsadler@hyde.k12.nc.us.
