Students brought their own funds and learned how to manage their money by seeing what they can afford. Fun opportunities were also offered, such as contributing to a marble collection to decide a costume for principal Dr. Jared Vanderbeck to wear, or vouchers to help art teacher Alyssa Arndt as an assistant for a day.
