Reality Fair

We need your help! Whether it be parent volunteers to run the "luxury" booth or professionals in the automobile industry helping students choose the best type of transportation, the Fair is a great way to support the community and teach students about everyday expenses. We are looking for volunteers with a background in:

• Housing (Renting an apartment, etc.)

• Furniture (Furnishing an apartment)

• Food (Eating out, eating at home, etc.)

• Insurance (Renter's insurance and auto insurance)

• Health Insurance

• Clothing (What sorts of attire are required for one's job)

• Transportation (Buying and leasing a car, paying for the T, paying for parking, etc.)

• Charity / Community Service (Giving back to the community)

• Education (Monthly student loan payments)

• Luxuries (Vacations, entertainment, pets)

• Personal Care (haircut, manicure, fitness)

• Internet / Phone / Cable

• Personal Savings (Putting money in a savings account, etc.)

• Retirement Savings

• Credit Cards

• Part-Time Jobs (to supplement income)

• Budget Counseling (Going through the students' budgets and making sure their finances balance)

Furthermore, we are looking for additional volunteers (who don't necessarily have any experience in those fields) to assist in the booths and to help run other aspects of the Fair.

If you have any questions, contact Ms. Giombetti (lgiombetti@ashland.k12.ma.us) or Mr. Wiczer (jwiczer@ashland.k12.ma.us). We are excited to bring this Reality Fair to life and looking forward to engaging the entire community in this event!
