To get ready for Valentine’s Day, the B.R.I.D.G.E.S. students took a fun and hands‑on budgeting trip to Target. Each student received a $12 budget and chose 13 goodies, one for every classmate. Some picked playful Valentine‑themed fidgets, while others went with classic chocolates. Beyond shopping, they practiced important life skills like budgeting, decision-making, navigating the store, using self‑checkout, and making sure they stayed within budget. A perfect mix of learning, independence, and Valentine’s Day fun!
