Each year, eighth grade students at Bryant Middle School participate in Junior Achievement Finance Park. Counselors teach a week-long curriculum to prepare students for the world of work and finances. After completing the lessons at school, students go on a field trip to Junior Achievement Finance Park at the Gateway to apply the knowledge and skills they learned about credit/debit cards, interest, saving, budgets and resume writing. After the completion of the Finance Park curriculum, students are better able to understand the connection between the world of work, education and the importance of earning good grades.

We are in need of volunteers to help supervise and guide our students during the Finance Park field trip at the Gateway. Volunteers supervise a group of six students and help them prepare a monthly budget based on their salary. If you are interested in helping with this field trip, please contact Suzanne Dearden at 801-578-8118
