Reality Check: It’s Your Money The high school students recently took part in a hands-on financial literacy simulation called Reality Check: It’s Your Money. This activity gave them a chance to step into the real world and see what managing money actually looks like. Students rotated through eight stations covering real-life expenses like housing, transportation, insurance, food, and credit. They had to make choices, build a budget, and figure out how to make their money last. For many, it was eye-opening to see how fast expenses add up and how important planning can be. Several students commented that they didn’t realize how much budgeting matters until they tried it themselves. Students who completed their budgets correctly were entered into a drawing for Amazon gift cards. Congratulations to our winners, Alessandra Marin and Sophia Rudewick! We truly appreciate our community members who volunteered their time to run stations and talk with students: Rhea McGinnis, Lupe Cabrera, Irene Sanders, Derek Ouellette, Oscar Galavis, Milissa Wright, Angela Samaniego, and the Honorable Judge Counts. Your involvement made the experience realistic and meaningful. Thank you also to Mrs. Stafford, Mrs. Velez, Mrs. Musick, and Mrs. Davis for helping with decorations and setup.

Our amazing FCS students went above and beyond in preparing a delicious meal for our Board Appreciation. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it truly showed. The food was incredible, and the atmosphere they created was calm, welcoming, and relaxing—something everyone genuinely enjoyed after a long day. It was more than just a meal; it was an experience filled with care and pride in their work. Thank you to our outstanding students and their dedicated teacher for the time, effort, and heart you poured into this evening. Your hard work, teamwork, and talent did not go unnoticed, and we are so proud of you all.
Here is a look at the week ahead at Sterling City ISD. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to a productive week with our students.
During the third six weeks, the 9th grade class had the highest attendance rate on campus for the second consecutive six weeks. Several students also earned perfect attendance, which is truly commendable. Their consistency, dedication, and commitment to being present each day sets a strong example for the entire campus.
In recognition of these efforts, all 9th grade students, along with those who achieved perfect attendance, were rewarded with a special treat from Dairy Queen.
Congratulations to Slate Clark!!
