Wednesday, April 19th is going to be another great day in York. All of our juniors will be taking the state mandated ACT test. Our freshmen and sophomores will be on their spring semester college visits. Our seniors will participate in our first ever "Real World Leadership Bootcamp" at the Holthus Convention Center.
This event is designed to expose all YHS Seniors to many issues they will face over the next few years out in the “real world.” YPS has joined forces with many business partners and helpful individuals throughout our amazing community to offer the following nine stations that will last about 25-minutes each. We will also have a delicious lunch from Dickey's BBQ!
Personal Finance Station #1 – HENDERSON STATE BANK
• Writing a check
• Balancing a checkbook
• Debit card management
Personal Finance Station #2 – CORNERSTONE BANK
• Credit card issues
• Credit rating
• Beware of identity theft (log out of computers, etc.)
• How you build a credit rating and why it's important to do so
Personal Finance Station #3 – MIDWEST BANK
• Student loans
• Personal loans (car, etc.)
• Interest rate variables
Personal Finance Station #4 – YORK STATE BANK

Station #5 is Basic Car Maintenance and Checkups from PENNER'S TIRE & AUTO as they will bring an actual car out to show how to do basic automobile checks, etc.
