Mrs. Anderson's sixth grade math classes finished their latest project yesterday - building and planning their very own food trucks! In groups, students built a model of their food truck, using proper measurements and a blueprint, while also creating the menu and pricing.

What is a Sinking Fund? A sinking fund for school is a dedicated savings account funded by a voter-approved local property tax (millage) that allows school districts to pay for large capital expenditures like construction, major repairs, technology upgrades, and security improvements.
The levied taxes cannot be used for general operating expenses.
