West Liberty-Salem (WL-S) seniors play “The Game of Life” as part of a focus on Money Management in April. The Counseling Office partnered with Quest Federal Credit Union to host the financial simulation where seniors were each assigned a job with salary and a family with children, then tasked with being financially responsible while managing monthly expenses, expected or unexpected. WL-S High School Counselor Molly Smith says, “As our upcoming graduates prepare for life outside of high school, this is likely very relevant and appealing information, as many find themselves thinking about finances a little differently.”

TIGERS AFTERNOON UPDATE for 4/13/22: All baseball and softball games scheduled for tonight are cancelled.
