Parma City School District high school students got a sneak peek of real-life finances with the Game of LIFE event.

Eighth grade, tenth grade and eleventh grade students at all three high schools participated in a budgeting activity where students selected a career, earned a monthly paycheck, selected a house, selected a car, and learned about various expenses they should expect such as taxes, healthcare, utilities, and insurance.

The goal was to make wise choices and stay within a budget to hopefully have money left over at the end of the month.

The Parma City School District is proud to offer more educational opportunities this school year for our middle school students in their Learning Labs.

Learning Labs at all three middle schools now have additional mathematics and ELA, or English Language Arts, curriculum through SuccessMaker as well as Social Emotional Learning that aligns with standards outlined by the Ohio Department of Education.

This change in Learning Lab has created more structure for middle school students during their day, which has been a welcomed change for the buildings.
