Coordinated in New York State by the New York Credit Union Foundation, LifeSmarts… the Ultimate Consumer Challenge is a fun and rewarding educational opportunity that expands the consumer and marketplace knowledge and skills of high school students in an effort to better prepare them as responsible consumers in today’s economy. The top 12 high school teams in the state were invited to compete in the head-to-head, double elimination competition for the New York State title after completion of a multi-level online testing program. The final competition took place March 18 at the New York State Museum in Albany, NY. Students were quizzed on real-life, consumer-oriented issues in five key areas: personal finance, health and safety, environment, technology, and consumer rights and responsibilities. Stopping by to congratulate, meet, and present a citation to Columbia High School's Business Law students was Assemblyman Ronald Canestrari (Adirondack/Capital). LifeSmarts, a program of the National Consumers League, is open to youth, grades 9-12, from any school, group or organization in the state. The New York Credit Union Foundation serves those who help improve the financial literacy and independence of New Yorkers.
