This is the 25th year that Westfield Area High School AP economics and personal finance students have participated in a program called Lifesmarts.
Lifesmarts is a national program sponsored by The National Consumers League that teaches teens to be smart and responsible consumers and citizens. Lifesmarts improves and tests the students skills from five key areas of consumer knowledge. Those areas are personal finance, health, safety, the environment, technology, and consumer rights and responsibilities
This year's competition involved the students qualifying for state competition against hundreds of other state schools through an on-line series of activities and tests. Top state scorers advanced to the state finals in Madison and competed as a team in a quiz bowl format.
Westfield Area High School qualified and sent finalists Aida Numsun, Ella Carroll, Gage Gehn, and Cory Nelson. Westfield competed against Sauk High School, Oconto Falls, and Tomahawk.
The Credit Education Foundation (CBW) runs the statewide competition and we thank them for the awards that they gave our students.
