4th graders at Bonner Springs Elementary had an amazing day at BizTown! 🏙️ After learning about economics in class, students had the opportunity to run their own city, take on jobs, make and spend money, and learn what it means to be a great citizen. BizTown is an extension of the Junior Achievement program, a curriculum centered on work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Such a fun, hands-on way to bring classroom lessons to life!
