Washington held its first All School yesterday! We went over the school rules and expectations, practiced how to be a good audience, and celebrated our Students of the Month as well as our Lexia Super Stars. Students of the Month are chosen by showing good work habits and a positive attitude. Lexia Super Stars are chosen by how many units a student earned by learning in the program. Students also learned that we will be working on getting them a library card that will allow them to borrow books from the book mobile and main branches, if they visit with their family.
Personal finance students at WHHS learned all money management today in the first of four presentations by The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program! This program is a joint project of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts and the Boston Bar Association. Today’s session was about personal finance and budgeting, in which students learned about banking basics, bank accounts, accessing funds and paying expenses, pay stubs, income tax basics, managing income and expenses, and avoiding fraud. The next three sessions are focused on the use of credit cards, making large purchases, and the consequences of poor financial decisions.
