Reality Hits Local High Schools

Posted:

HOLMEN, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Juniors at Holmen and Onalaska High Schools got a taste of the real world Thursday. 

It was the schools' 8th annual Reality Store, a financial simulation activity held in the Holmen High School gym.

Each student spent about an hour and a half choosing careers and making decisions about their budgets and lifestyles.

Area businesses and volunteers helped run the event, complete with giving each student a fake paycheck and checkbook.

The activity is meant to help students learn about financial responsibility and future life choices.
