Reality Check will take place on Thursday, October 3rd. Seniors from Elkton and Sioux Valley will take part in this event to learn more from community members/businesses about how far your future income may stretch! The event will run in the South Gym from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM and then we will share pizza for lunch with Sioux Valley before they head back to school. I would recommend seniors bring along a calculator that day to make calculations during the event a little easier. See Mrs. Yackley if you have any questions!
