This week, Team Three’s TAG students did a project to help Haiti. They decided to start a school fundraiser to collect money for donations. They were all dispersed into three different groups: education, collection, and history. The education group gave speeches and sent out informational e-mails about Haiti. The collection group thought of different ways to collect money. The history group was in charge of taking pictures, and writing a page on the BCA website. All groups worked diligently to spread the word, to make themselves heard and more importantly, to stimulate audiences to donate for the people in need in Haiti.

Team 3 Update Sept. 28 – Oct. 2, 2009

BCA received a grant from the Council for Economic Education through funding from the United States Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement. The grant was for BCA to continue the financial literacy program we began 3 years ago. Team 3 has had our first “pay day” this week. It has been our experience that the younger students struggle with pay checks and writing checks for rent. Usually they all need help at once. This week, they all listened very well and it made the experience a little more bearable.

Next week will be their first experience with writing checks. They will have to pay their rent for the first time, and I fear some of them are going to be a little short of cash. I hope all goes well. In previous years, student who lost their seats learned quickly what to do to keep their chairs. Good luck to all of them next year when they pay their first rent.
