The Urbandale Schools will be hosting a poverty simulation on Sat., March 3 at 9:00 a.m. at the Urbandale High School Media Center. Educators, parents, students and community members are invited to this unique, interactive experience that helps people begin to understand what it is like to live in poverty.
The poverty simulation is a unique, interactive experience that helps people begin to understand what life is like with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress. The simulation involves 44-80 participants who take on the roles of members of 26 families, all facing a variety of challenging but typical circumstances such as homelessness, job loss and child care issues.
If you are interested in signing up, please contact Jan Stewart in the Administrative Office of the Urbandale Community School District at (515) 457-5050. Please provide email address, mailing address and phone number. Deadline to register is Friday, February 24 at noon.
