On Tuesday, May 16, 2023, the Hampton High School Sophomores participated in the “Get Real, Here’s the Deal” activity presented by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in Calhoun County. Get Real is a hands-on experiential simulation that gives youth the opportunity to experience their future in a financial decisionmaking mode. Participants are encouraged to make wise financial lifestyle choices like those that adults face each month based on their family size and affordability. The simulation included preparation day, simulation day and a follow up day.
Local business owners, community leaders, and Hampton School District administration and faculty participated in this activity. Other participants included agents from the U of A Division of Agriculture Bradley, Calhoun, and Ouachita Counties, SAU Tech Adult Education, Calhoun County Judge’s Office, Calhoun County Treasurer’s Office, Farm Bureau, Generations Bank, Snap and Chop, and Ms. Lambert, volunteer.
We look forward to providing this program in the future.
