Congrats to 11 classes on Part 1 of the Perfect Pay trophy: 90%+ of their students paid every bill on time and in full for 20 days. Plenty of adults still struggle with that! @Grayslake_Rams @EHSchools @elderhighschool @CmhsOfficial #BudgetChallenge

Thank you @BrunswickCSD! 13 school years and 4,239 students who learned by doing. Your classes are among the most engaged in the country. Huge credit to your teachers 👏
What happens when students have to pay bills, manage credit, save for emergencies, and prepare for retirement? They discover that personal finance is about much more than numbers. @BCSDBrunswickHS Finance teachers Angela McFadden, Lauren Blaseg, and Mark Pinzone are equipping students to navigate real-world finances through an online, interactive platform called @BudgetChallenge. Through Budget Challenge, students learn by doing. This simulation gives students hands-on experience making financial decisions, solving problems, and managing money in an engaging, relevant way. These essential life skills will serve them well long after graduation—another example of how our district challenges students in the classroom to create a lasting impact. #BrunswickPRIDE #JourneyOfABlueDevil
