CM 5th Graders Participate in JA Biztown

January 10, 2025

CM 5th graders have been participating in a Junior Achievement program called Biztown.  JA BizTown combines daily lessons with a day-long visit to a simulated town. During the classroom lessons, students learn about financial literacy, community and economy, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. The students even participated in the election process to elect our town Mayor and District Attorney. Each student completed a job application and resume to learn about the job hiring process. They went through the interview process to be hired for their specific job within a business. The interviews were conducted by Penn Manor administrators and parent volunteers. This program teaches students about life skills in a unique and engaging way that we hope they never forget!
