At Reality U, sophomores and 8th graders quickly learned that budgeting for a family while maintaining a house and paying for insurance and other bills is a much more difficult task than first imagined. Students left RealityU with not only a better understanding of finances and budgeting, but a much greater appreciation for the things they’ve been given from their own parents and guardians.

Elementary students who took part in WILD Wednesday had a blast learning about soil. They got to see what each layer was made of and the importance of having a rich soil full of nutrients for plants and flowers. After learning about each layer and what it is made of, they got the chance to build their own layers in a tasty treat. They also went on a video field trip to a composting plant, to see how it is made and used. They all did such a great job! #itsagreatdaytobeajet
