Youtz “A” Club Takes On Finance and Golf

Attendance matters!

By Monica Black- Dean of Students.

Students who were members of “A” Club for February took part in a two-part series learning about financial literacy — basically how to manage and budget money!

To be a part of the “A” Club, students must have to have 95% attendance for the month and no tardies. We had three wonderful managers from First Commonwealth Bank of Canton come to teach our students on two different days. Ms. Cheri Swisher, Ms. Dawn Roberts, and Ms. Lesile Machefski led our students through real-life money decisions through activities and games. They brought lots of great prizes for our students and everyone really enjoyed the learning experience. THANK YOU FIRST COMMONWEALTH BANK!

Students who made the “A” Club for March were able to visit First Tee and experience golf. Students were taught about putting, chip- ping, and driving the ball. They were also taught about building the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.

By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with the life skills curriculum, the First Tee creates learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. Our students loved this and hopefully signed up for the First Tee summer program. They also learned about college scholarships and how golf scholarships are available and many do not get used. Let’s have some of our CCS students receive them!

Thank you First Tee and Mindy Pamer, Outreach Coordinator!
