Healthy dose of reality

Clark Middle School students, from left, Mina Rodgers, Landon Hardy and Jessica Prater, look for their dream home Monday while participating in a reality fair for eighth graders, top photo. Waiting to help them ¿purchase¿ their home is local real estate agent Craig Bridgewater, left background. Each student was issued a salary based on their first nine weeks GPA to help them with the realities of living expenses. Each student also was told if they were married and if they had children. David Douglas waits for his fate to be told by the spinning wheel at one of the stations manned by school volunteer Rick Marsh, bottom photo. The two-day fair is sponsored by the school¿s Youth Services Center and a grant from Clark County Community Education¿s School-To-Careers program.
