Credit for Life Fair

Watch the video to learn more about how the Credit For Life Fair helps students reach their financial goals!

Silver Lake Regional High School is happy to announce that this year’s fair will be held in-person once again. We are asking you to help us complete this mission by sharing your time and talent on the day of the fair in an effort to continue financial literacy education for the students in our community.

There are many opportunities to help, including being a booth captain or booth volunteer which involves helping students navigate financial monthly decisions on specific budget items ie: transportation, insurance, utilities, housing etc. 

Students will learn everything from managing a budget to using a credit card wisely. Students will complete various booths in which they interact with members of the business, nonprofit and public sectors to learn about the costs of living and the financial decisions they will make when they are adults. 

You can also help with the credit counseling booths where students check to see if their financial decisions are in line with their monthly take home pay. We are also looking to have raffle prizes donated by local businesses to award students as they progress through the fair and are successfully meeting their financial goals. The purpose of the raffles is to keep students engaged and to acknowledge their work.

Your participation in this fair is both beneficial to our students as well as you and your business, and we will be highlighting our donors and volunteers through news articles and correspondence home to student families.

We need your help so if you would consider participating or have any questions please contact either of our fair coordinators: Leslie Kalinowski, lkalinowski@slrsd.org - 781-585-3844 Ext 2005 or Kasey Sheehan at ksheehan@slrsd.org - 781-585-3844 Ext 1501. 

We look forward to working with you and continuing our mission to educate students on the importance of money management.
