Junior Achievement of South Dakota recently hosted their JA Finance Park event and Patrick Henry 7th graders got the chance to learn more about finances. Throughout the day, students learned about setting up savings, budgeting, debit and credit, and more. They were given a real-life scenario with a career and family and learned how to budget for housing, groceries, vacations and charitable giving - all the things that adults plan for every month.
