Ohio Middle Level Students of the Year
We were able to celebrate two of our outstanding 8th grade students: Izzy Lapp and Giana Powell, at the OMLA Breakfast of Champions this past week. The Ohio Middle Level Association celebrated their outstanding leadership, service, character, and scholarship
REAL MONEY REAL WORLD- MAY 17TH
SMS will be hosting the Real Money. Real World. Reality Store for our 8th graders on Friday May 17th, 2024.
We have a few ways that you can get involved:
1.) Help support the students with financial advice during the simulation. This includes working at a table to help give students advice of which "option" fits in their budget.
2.) We are looking for volunteers to speak to our 8th grade students about their careers. (please forward this part to anyone you know that might want to speak about their career to 8th grade students)
We hope this event is a fun, effective way for students to learn about personal financial responsibility and life choices and that it helps teens understand real world expenses they will encounter as adults.
