With the current state of the economy, and the number of Americans who have taken on more debt than any other generation, it has brought to light the importance of teaching our youth about the importance or personal financial responsibility. At the end of March a group of Cedar Springs students put their knowledge to the test.
Mr. Busen’s Modern Business II Class took part in the National Financial Capability Challenge. Over 76,000 students representing every state completed the Challenge. The following 10 students scored in the top 20th percentile of students nationwide:
Paul Flores
Austin Frandsen
Ken Hoogerhyde
Cody Kidder
Kyle Larsen
Nick Machuta
Zach Magoon
Shayne McCann
Krista McGrath
Spencer Snider
Congratulations to these students for demonstrating the skills necessary to be financially responsible adults.
