Due to the impact of Sharonview’s summer program with Cleveland County Schools, Ms. Montgomery from Burns Middle School invited us to her classroom! Cameron Kane, Kara Ball, and Kelton Graham volunteered their time to paly simple, interactive money management games with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes. Students learned how to proactively budget monthly expenses and identify the differences between Needs and Wants.
They then sat in for Ms. Montgomery’s lesson on setting students up for success by using the formula “Hope + Effort + Mentor = Success!” By setting goals and using mentorships to guide students toward their dreams, they are engaging in valuable lessons and principles for lifelong learning. We’re excited to see what these kids will accomplish in years to come!
