Xtreme Xploration Scheduled Xtreme Xploration will be held on Tuesday, February 10 afrom 8:15 am - 2:30 pm at the UW-Marshfield/Wood County campus (snow date is February 12). This event brings business and educational leaders together to share real life experience to prepare students for post high school opportunities. Over 50 volunteers will assist students with resume reviews, personal interviews and panel discussions regarding topics such as social media in the workplace, dress code & ethics and dealing with intergenerational differences. A student life panel, financial aid information and a higher education fair will also be featured. Xtreme Xploration is coordinated and sponsored by: UW-Marshfield/Wood County, Mid-State Technical College, Central City Credit Union, MACCI, the Sunrise Rotary Club of Marshfield, Marshfield High School, Columbus Catholic Schools, and Marshfield Alternative School. 2015 Reality Stores Are Set. Volunteers Needed! The 2015 Reality Stores have been scheduled for March 10 at Spencer Schools and April 14 at Marshfield Middle School. Students from Auburndale, Columbus Catholic, Granton, Greenwood, Immanuel Lutheran, Loyal, Marshfield, Pittsville, Spencer, and St. Joseph Catholic schools will attend the stores. This successful event, originally a Leadership Marshfield project, helps eighth grade students put the puzzle of their future together. Before the day of the store, students will be assigned an occupation with annual income, benefits, a marital status, combined income, and children. The first lesson students learn will be how to calculate their net monthly income. They deduct state and federal taxes, social security and Medicare, and quickly realize the difference between gross and net income. As they enter the store, the young shoppers will be greeted by business volunteers representing a variety of monthly expenses. Students arrange for their housing, furnishings, utilities, transportation, childcare, groceries, insurance, and taxes, and will be required to donate to charity and contribute to their savings account. They are allowed to make optional purchases such as computers, motorcycles, pets, and family vacations; assuming, of course, their budget allows for such expenditures. In addition, students are given chance factors, the unexpected occurrences that affect a family s budget, such as emergency room visits, automobile problems, or spontaneous purchases. Life lessons that occur daily as adults are simulated in the store. During past year s stores, several students downsized their homes, realized they couldn t purchase the vehicles they wanted, or gave up other luxuries to make their money balance. Some pursued a part-time job to make ends meet, or discovered a need for social services assistance. Many students are amazed at the added expense of having children! Most students leave the reality store with an increased awareness of budgeting money and making wise financial choices. Others have admitted they will give more consideration to their career and education choices. Overall, the reality store exposes students to the concept of preparing a monthly budget, with a glimpse of how much things cost and how quickly they add up. The Reality Stores are staffed by area business representatives who sell their services to these eighth grade students. For example, realtors sell houses, car dealers sell vehicles, and insurance agents offer home and automobile coverage. While in the store, students have to arrange for day care services, pay municipal taxes and order telephone and electric service as they prepare a monthly budget. Your help is needed as we plan this year s stores. For more information or to find out how you can get involved, contact Karen Isaacson at (715) 384-3454 or email macci@marshfieldchamber.com.
