Through a School to Work grant, Braxton County Middle School students are learning about money management. They receive a paycheck for coming to school, being prepared in class, having good grades, etc.
Students learn how to manage money and how to manage a food, toy or department store.
Profits fund students field trips or other projects. Agent Howard and two sanitarians offered a food handlers course for more than 400 people last year. The course, carried out in cooperation with the Braxton County Health Department, helped restaurants meet health regulations. This year, a renewal class was added. More than 60 children attended Extension s six-week Energy Express summer reading program.
