Students in Mrs. Lee's Consumer Math class have been studying about buying a car, and they recently visited several businesses in the community to learn more about the process.

The class would like to thank Chris at JKMitchell, Lauren at Country Companies, and Kevin at First Neighbor Bank for sharing their knowledge on the car buying process.
