Community Based Instruction is an important activity for students at Washington Center.  Recently McKenzie Riley's class participated in hands-on activities promoting the use of money skills and budgeting.  

Given a predetermined amount of money, students were given the opportunity to select items from a local store. Once the items were selected, students paid for the items and retrieved the change and receipt from the purchase. The students then brought the items back to school where they were wrapped and given as gifts for their families during the holiday season.
