 Credit for Life Fair

On Thursday, Oct. 10 from 8:45 to 11 a.m. the school will once again host the Credit for Life Fair. The fair is an interactive simulation that requires that senior students select a career option and practice managing their personal budgets based upon the projected monthly income of their job choice. Students will visit booths staffed by Cape Cod Five employees and other members of the community as they make financial decisions about what they want, what they need and what they can afford. The Credit for Life Fair was designed to help students gain an understanding of the financial decisions they will have to make when they are on their own, without parents or guardians paying the bills and covering costs of food, clothing, shelter and entertainment.
