Junior Achievement has come to an end this week in Mrs. Stannard's fifth grade class. Students enjoyed every session with Mrs. Sara Hertrampf from Freedom Bank. Sara presented interactive lessons to students on America's free market system, entrepreneurship, the demands for people with technical skills to support high-demand jobs and how the US is tied to the global economy. She treated the students' good listening and learning with treats and other goodies. Thank you Sara!
