Financial Literacy Fair
Earlier today, Milton High School held a Financial Literacy Fair in collaboration with Early Investors, Inc. (E.I.), which is a non-profit group that promotes Financial Literacy at public high schools, prisons, and business organizations throughout Massachusetts.
All students who are taking a business course this semester (Business II: Entrepreneurship / Small Business and Personal Finance I and II) along with students who took a business course first semester (Intro to Business and Marketing: Sports & Entertainment) were invited to participate in the Fair. During the Fair, students received a real-world financial profile that included an occupation (based on career and industry interests), a corresponding income, a budget, and a series of spending and lifestyle choices. With that profile, each student travelled to several different booths that represent an expense, lifestyle, or financial decision that needs to be made (home related expenses such as rent, mortgage, insurance, utilities, furniture; medical expenses, credit decisions, banking approaches, investment , transportation, entertainment, etc.). The booths were run by E.I. staff and professional volunteers from local businesses and organizations. The volunteers helped students understand financial options, responsibilities, and consequences of decisions made during the role playing activity.
The fair was a valuable opportunity for students to learn how to realistically budget, save money, invest, and deal with life’s unexpected expenses. Thank you to MHS Business teacher Josh Hamermesh for organizing the fair for our students!

MHS Civics Lesson
Thanks to MHS seniors Lucy Hays and Nina Truog for teaching our Glover fifth graders a lesson about the importance of voting and civic action!
MHS Music Trip to Philadelphia
Our MHS Music students had an awesome (and exhausting!) trip to Philadelphia last weekend. They learned a lot about the history of the city, spent some time in Amish country, and saw three incredible musical performances — the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, Beautiful: the Carole King Musical, and Ragtime the Musical.
Students were out and about from early morning until after midnight each night and did an incredible job representing our Milton community while making happy memories with each other.
Big thanks to our MHS music teachers for organizing and chaperoning this fantastic experience for our students!
