Finances, Laws, and Budgets: A Perkins 5th Grade Adventure

Last Thursday, Perkins’ 5th grade clases travelled to their annual trip to BizTown, Des Moines’ own “city” that aims to simulate how the real world works outside of school. Students prepared for the trip by learning how to write checks, manage their paychecks, obey laws, and coexist with their peers in a working environment. It was a great experience for both the students and their parents.
