Each year Greenville Middle School 8th-graders are given the

chance to imagine themselves as adults for a day-it’s always a

“Reality” check for most! The annual event-Reality Store ,

allows students to choose their education and career path

and subsequently make adult financial and life decisions. De-

pending on their chosen career, students will have to adjust

lifestyles based on their budgets and predict their financial

standings based on their profile. The Reality Store is "staffed" by over 30 area business rep-

resentatives, agencies and community volunteers who "sell"

their services to

the students.

A special thank

you to all of the volunteers and the many busi-

nesses that allowed their employees to partici-

pate in this important event.
