Mrs. Lee’s Consumer Math class studied a chapter called, "Buying a Car". On February 15, her class took a field trip to several businesses in the community to learn more from local professionals about buying a car. They learned about interest rates, deductibles, down payments, credit scores, and so much more regarding buying a car. The students even got to practice leaving a tip at lunch. Mrs. Lee’s class would like to thank Chris at JKMitchell, Lauren at Country Companies, and Kevin and Sam at First Neighbor Bank for taking time out of their day to share their knowledge on the car buying process.
