All 4th grade students across MVR-III recently worked through the JuniorAchievement BizTown program during social studies, focusing on different aspects of economics & business. They also learned about the rights & responsibilities of citizens, job interests & skills, and STEM careers. At the end of the unit, students had the opportunity to go to JA BizTown on a field trip. They were given the chance to vote, work at a business, make a profit, and make purchases at other businesses. Pictured are Nike Scouts having an amazing time in their learning! #MVNation #GrowingTogether
