Last week the Classic 8 Conference schools gathered at the Oconomowoc Community Center to take part in a day full of leadership development and unity. Each school selected 12 student-leaders and two coaches, along with the athletic director to attend. This was the 3rd annual conference-wide event, and the impact of student-leaders improving and influencing their peers upon returning to school is significant for our school communities!

The School District of Waukesha hosted its 16th annual Reality for approximately 400+ high school students at Waukesha County Technical College. This hands-on, interactive simulation was designed to give young people insights into the world of personal money management.
The simulation begins with an overview provided by Educators Credit Union explaining why it is necessary to understand finances related to future planning and how their specially designed app works. Students are given their financial situation related to their anticipated career choice and their family dynamics, including income, taxes, and a credit score.
Next, students enter the simulation room where they are faced with an array of choices and occurrences that they may face for a monthly budget, trying to make their money stretch to meet the demands of being an adult. Each station in the simulation room has volunteers from different industries available to explain what they should be considering and the impact their choice may have on their finances. This allows them to select their life decisions and have a real-time checking account balance available. The event is a real eye-opener for many students as it tests their ability to stay afloat and get ahead if possible. We are thankful to have a strong partner like Educators Credit Union that sees the need and value of a simulated personal financial planning exercise.

Today is a special observance day in Wisconsin. September 11, 2001, is a day that holds profound significance in our nation's history. We want to take a moment to remember and honor the lives that were lost and the indomitable spirit that emerged in the face of adversity.
This day serves as a solemn occasion to pay tribute to the victims, survivors, and heroes such as law enforcement officers and firefighters who demonstrated unparalleled courage and unity during those challenging times.
The portable rock wall will be out front of the school on September 20th during both lunch hours. Come out and give it a try!
It's an incredible day! Welcome to the 2023-24 School Year! #waukeshaproud
