Biz Town

Rhen has been excited for Biz Town for weeks!  This is such a fun event for the 5th graders to be a part of and to feel a small part of what it takes to have a job and manage their own finances.  It's done so well and really fun for them!  Before they get to the actual day of Biz Town, they each apply for different jobs and are given those assignments.  Rhen applied for and was chosen as the CFO of the Salt Lake School District.  Once she got there, her responsibilities included submitting and giving out the paychecks for all the employees and helping them each be able to balance their checkbooks before they spent their remaining money.  They all have bills to pay as a company and personally and then the rest can be spent throughout the town on whatever they want.  It is a darling town and so good for the kids to think about a be able to play a part in a "real grown ups day."  Because Rhen was the CFO she also gave a speech to the town along with the officers from the other companies.  She did awesome and had such a fun day at Biz Town!
