Financial Literacy: shopping for snacks on a budget

In March, both Digital Connectors and Teen University, will be engaging in a series of financia literacy activities. Their first assignment was to purchase enough snacks for 25 people with a budget of $125 for our trip to Huston-Tillotson and University of Texas. It was not an easy task to accommodate the taste buds of some many people but Shannon, Chisa, and Alexcia did a wonderful job working together and staying in budget. Their bill was $124.88!

"Shine" on them for staying after the program hours to make a brown bag of snacks for each person and for accepting the challenge.

New Semester!!!

Today started The first day at the ASA. We are ready to see what the kids have in store for us. I am really glad that we will be starting a new plan to help the kids get back on track. I think that the new strategies that we will be using are going to help tremendously. The kids are really sweet kids. They just need some redirection. I am going to work really hard to help them be positive in everything that they do. It is going to be a great semester!!!We have a great team of players. Everyone is anxious to see the kids today!! I applaud each and everyone of my co-workers for their hardwork and dedication.
