Post date: Sep 23, 2016 8:11:36 PM

After fall break, we will begin our Young AmeriTowne unit!! This is an awesome experience and is full of meaningful, life lessons for the students. Some of the topics they will explore are...running a successful business, supply and demand, advertising, the stock market, interviewing for a job, government, voting, philanthropy, keeping a checkbook, and using debit cards. After the interview process, students will be placed in a job for our field trip to the Young AmeriTowne facility where they will get paid to work for a day and get the opportunity to spend their money while keeping a balanced checkbook. AmeriTowne is set up like a miniature town full of shops and businesses. Prior to our field trip there, students will also be involved in job trainings and staff meetings to prepare for the big day. Our Young AmeriTowne field trip is set for Monday, December 5.
