Contracts for cars, cell phones and credit cards; cyber safety; and a session on life choices? Not your typical high school academic coursework, but the Helena Education Foundation, HHS and CHS business departments, the Student Assistance Foundation, American Federal Savings Bank and Montana Office of Consumer Protection are teaming up to sponsor just such an academy, with a Vigilante theme.  Workshops will be held for students at both high schools on Thursday, April 29, 2010 from 8:20 AM – noon. The workshops address topics of special importance to youth in a professional atmosphere with great food, speakers and prizes.

Community, school and government experts will present the three classes on these topics for the first 180 students to sign up at each school. These three presentations will be fun, interactive and interspersed with food and drawings for electronic gear and gas, food and clothing cards.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn skills for a lifetime! For more information or to sign up, contact HEF at 443-2545 or www.hefmt.org. Sign up at the school lobbies in April at each high school or contact Willie Schlepp at Helena High, Char Lawrence at Capital High School
