Signal
Knob Middle School's Financial Fitness Project
As part of their
project, "How Does It Work?," members created
PowerPoints and fake checkbooks for each 8th grade FACS
student. Students were educated by their peers on
how to write a check, fill out a deposit slip, and balance
a checkbook. Students learned that these are relevant
life skills they will need in the future.
