OUR 8th grade has taken turns going to Junior Achievement's Finance Park, located inside Discovery High School in Lawrenceville. We've got some pictures of yesterday's group to showcase the kids and their learning. This was an awesome experience and OUR Students took advantage and got some good instruction. Ask your 8th grader about their experience.
