Future Finance Volunteers Needed!
|
|
Future Finance is financial literacy simulation program for high school students provided by Liberty Public Schools and Liberty School District Foundation.
Future Finance provides students a real life experience in handling their finances as a 26 year old. It’s a fun, tangible way to experience the reality of making financial decisions about life’s necessities. They learn what it costs to maintain a household, family, and children, why it’s important to do well in school, choose a career, and plan wisely.

Talk to your Teen about Healthy Relationships
|
|
It’s never too early to talk to your child about healthy relationships.
Starting conversations is one of the most important steps you can take. Here are some sample questions to start the conversation:
- Are any of your friends dating? What are their relationships like? What would you want in a partner?
- Have you witnessed unhealthy relationships or dating abuse at school? How does it make you feel? Were you scared?
- Do you know what you would do if you witnessed or experienced abuse?
- Has anyone you know posted anything bad about a friend online? What happened afterwards?
- Would it be weird if someone you were dating texted you all day to ask you what you’re doing?
