A few weeks ago Zachary got the chance to go to JA Biz Town with the 5th grade. It is a mock town that the kids get to run for a day. They elect a mayor, all get jobs with "paychecks", learn to write checks, pay bills, and how a town government works.
He had so much fun. He was an attorney. They got to put down 3 jobs that interested them, and then the teachers assigned everyone a job. Some of the other jobs were- newspaper, insurance, Cox Cable, Papa Johns Pizza, airlines, mall, just to name a few.
He did have one little bit of trouble. Somewhere between the bus, and when it was his "lunch break" his lunch disappeared. He was pretty upset, but a few of his friends Moms were there helping and had lunch at the same time and gave him a bunch of stuff, and then one of the teachers walked down the street and bought him a sandwich, and drink at the gas station. He ended up with a better lunch than the one I packed him. Thanks Kristen and Katrina.
