V - w 4 . i - ? Seventh graders at Orem Junior High get a taste of REAL life at Orem Junior High schools reality town. Orem Jr High School hosts "Reality lorn" Orem Junior High School was the host site of "Reality Town" , a 7th grade wide activity held on March 22, 2001. This activity is effective in helping students understand under-stand the role and value of education educa-tion in their future, and especially in the world of work. Each student was allowed to choose an occupation occupa-tion and income level based on their current gpa. Students were also assigned children and individual indi-vidual scenarios to help make the activity more realistic and diversified, diversi-fied, and were given individualized carbon checkbooks courtesy of First Security Bank. Nearly 400 7th graders participated in this activity. Each student was required to go to over 20 booths which included banking, taxes, child care, clothing, communications, dental, donations, dona-tions, entertainment, home improvement, im-provement, grocery, health & ' grooming, housing, car and health insurance, loans, unexpected expenses, ex-penses, medical, property taxes, transportation, and utilities. Students Stu-dents also had the opportunity to go to a counseling booth which helped them reevaluate their expenditures ex-penditures as well as securing additional ad-ditional employment through the supplemental income booth. The gym was set up as a mock city with student assistance leaders, lead-ers, a park complete with trees, bushes and benches, and individualized individu-alized booths representing the above businesses. Booths were manned by community commu-nity volunteers, teachers, parents, and selected students. Translation services were also available for non-English speaking students. This day long activity was a great success, and Orem Junior High School would like to express our gratitude to the following businesses busi-nesses and schools who so generously gener-ously donated their time, employees, employ-ees, and decorations: First Security Bank, Michaels, Barber Brothers, Allstate, Timpanogos Hospital,' Zions Bank, Division of Work Force Services, Lehi High School and Timpanogos High School. We would also like to thank the over 100 volunteers who helped make this activity possible, and for their continued support of Orem Junior High School. , 11 |
