Check out the student interviews from our Mad City Money activity with the West Virginia Central Federal Credit Union from last week! Our 8th grade students were given a profile with an occupation, monthly income, spouse income, children, and debt to be paid off. They made their way through stations where they purchased a place to live, mode of transportation, insurance, "fun stuff", etc., and had to budget their money like an adult. It was a great learning experience for everyone! https://youtu.be/H17Xomg-ioQ?si=7M7qrZRjzfbwvRZX

WVBE Policy 3234 permits WV school districts to submit a plan to use up to five Non-Traditional Instruction Days when students are not receiving instruction within the school facility. We are requesting parent/guardian input in continuing the use of "Snow Packets" in Tyler County instead of adding additional instructional days to the end of the school year.
