Marshfield Chamber of Commerce Holds Successful Reality Store

The Marshfield Chamber of Commerce had a very successful Reality Store event on March 13.

There were just under 600 8th grade students from the following school districts: Marshfield Middle School, Pittsville, Granton, St. Joseph’s in Stratford, Neillsville, Auburndale, Columbus Catholic School, Loyal, Spencer and Greenwood.

At the 19th Annual Reality Store event, students were given a career and a family status where they learned to budget finances. They chose how to budget their finances from paying utilities, Savings/Donations, Investments/Retirements, Transportation & Gas, Computers and phone, housing, clothing, groceries, household needs, insurance, pet care, child care, college, entertainment and even recreation vehicles.

They want to thank all of their volunteers, Marshfield Middle School for hosting and the Marshfield Middle School ambassadors. Also, thank you to the sponsors: Marshfield Utilities, Security Health Plan and Simplicity Credit Union.
