Iowa-Grant School District

On Wednesday, April 12, 2023, 39 Iowa-Grant High School Seniors attended the annual Southwest Wisconsin Interactive Financial Literacy Event (SWIFLE) at the Lenz Center at Southwest WI Technical College, hosted by twelve area school districts and staffed with area community business leader volunteers. SWIFLE is an interactive hands-on experience for high school students designed to demonstrate the importance of sound money management skills. SWIFLE provides an opportunity for students to connect with community business representatives in an authentic situation where students test their budgeting skills. Based on their chosen career and randomly drawn marital status and family, students are asked to make a month’s worth of financial decisions, make deposits, make payments, and balance their accounts. Students make consumer choices about housing, transportation, insurance, retirement investments, credit cards, childcare, phone, internet, cable, gas, electricity, water, groceries, gasoline, clothing, personal items, household items, pets, entertainment, and recreational vehicles based upon the monthly pay earned from their chosen career. Students have a great time interacting with and learning from professionals with expertise in the field. Thank you to all of our volunteers for making SWIFLE a great experience for our students!

To wrap up an animal unit in kindergarten, the students were able to visit the Montfort Library and Montfort Veterinary Clinic before Spring Break. At the library, students listened to a story and explored the wonderful things to do at the library. Thank you to Michelle at the Montfort Library for allowing us to come. At the vet clinic, students toured the facility, learned about the types of animals they care for and some of the tools they use there. A big thank you to Dr. Brokopp and the team at Montfort Vet Clinic for teaching us so much about caring for animals!
