The Family and Consumer Sciences Department from J.W. Dodd Middle School participated in an exciting economic education program called Junior Achievement Finance Park. Junior Achievement Finance Park is a month-long economics education program that introduces personal financial planning and career exploration. Mrs. Doshi taught the program to the eighth grade students. After the completion of this program, the students visited JA Finance Park with Mrs. Doshi and Mr. Wandzilak on May 21st to put into practice what they had learned about economic options and the principles of budgeting. The students also had an excellent opportunity to actually develop and commit to a personal budget.
