Reality Store at Northwestern Middle School

The Reality Store is an event where our 8^th graders experience the “real world.”  The students will have the opportunity to practice planning for their futures and making adult choices, such as budgeting, obtaining insurance, buying a car, purchasing a house, etc.

We will be holding the Reality Store at Northwestern Middle School on Wednesday, April 12th starting at 9:00 a.m. (set-up beginning at 7:30 a.m.) and concluding by 11:00.  This will impact students from Northwestern, Bayfield, and Washburn schools.  This has the potential to be an extraordinary opportunity for our students, and we would truly appreciate any and all support that you and your business can provide! 

Our past middle school students found this activity to be incredibly meaningful, and one student stated the following: “This showed me just how hard I will have to work—starting now.”  The great discovery they found was a correlation between school and the real-world.  Moreover, I think they were more thankful for their parents and what they do for them!

If you are interested in helping with our Reality Store on April 12th please let me know by March 15th.  Additionally, if you know of any other contacts that could be valuable resources for our students with this event, please let me know. 

I look forward to hearing from you.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jennifer Forsythe at jeforsythe@nw-tigers.org or 715-363-2434, extension 2023.  Thank you!
