The junior class of NRHEG High School got a dose of reality on May 16.
The reality store began last year, after business teacher Georgia Dinneen saw a news story on TV regarding a school in Pillager, Minn., executing the same idea. Mrs. Dinneen and Sandy Schumacher, the other business teacher, found out that another school in LaCrosse, Wisconsin did the same thing. They traveled to La Crosse to observe their reality store and came back with numerous ideas about how to implement such an activity in New Richland.
Students complete the hands-on simulation as part of their money management/careers class. Each junior chooses a career they are interested in and researches the salary for an entry or mid-level position in that field. They are then assigned a random life scenario. Some students are married, divorced or single. They may have any number of children or pets. Some students will have college loans to pay while others might have child support to figure into their budget.
Together for the final time

The morning of Monday May 13, 2013 was a blast from the past for NRHEG High School seniors. Mrs. Becky Jensen, the kindergarten teacher for many of them, visited the high school with a box of treasures: their kindergarten time capsule. Jensen created the time capsule along with the other New Richland kindergarten teacher at the time, Mrs. Longway.
Many of the pieces packed away for this day were kept without the students knowing. Each child had filled out a star of the week profile that was included. There was also a video that the teachers had recorded throughout the year. Special events such as the Pumpkinland trip and the Thanksgiving play were included on the footage. The classes did watch the video at the end of their kindergarten year, but most of the students had no recollection of it.
