Episode Details

Shelton High School is hosting the Bite of Reality Fair, an event organized by Peninsula Credit Union to educate high school seniors about financial responsibility. The fair utilizes an app-based simulation where students receive a job, salary, and must make budgetary decisions regarding housing, transportation, and other expenses. The program aims to prepare students for real-world financial challenges. Peninsula Credit Union, along with community volunteers, facilitates the fair and also supports financial literacy programs in middle schools. The initiative extends beyond Shelton High School, with plans for a similar fair at North Mason High School.
