💰📚 Garfield Heights High School and Middle School students recently had an amazing opportunity to visit the Junior Achievement of Greater Cleveland Experiential Learning Center in downtown Cleveland!

Alongside Ms. Huff, Ms. Bartlett, and Ms. Hasman, students explored budgeting, financial literacy, and real-world career skills while learning from a few community partners.
