Sutton Middle School's Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) students are so cutting-edge and determined about their futures, they were selected by the Junior Achievement’s Chick-fil-A Foundation Discovery Center to be featured in their statewide awe-inspiring promotional video.

TalkUp APS, says that, "Junior Achievement’s Chick-fil-A Foundation Discovery Center will open this fall," and that the video was created to promote the facility.

The YouTube video is a must-see inspirational video that has a deeply cinematic feel to it. The Sutton Middle schoolers are natural talents, and also the leaders of the future!

According to APS:

In Fall 2013, Junior Achievement's Chick-fil-A Foundation Discovery Center will open, providing more than 30,000 metro Atlanta middle school students with the opportunity to experience their simulated futures first-hand.

Through this 360-degree educational experience, JA will provide the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, skills and capacity to own their future economic success. Become part of this inspirational program and help more students take part in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park.

JA BizTown
JA BizTown creates a unique opportunity where students are able to interact within a simulated macro-economy, and take on the role of employee, tax payer and consumer. During the visit to JA BizTown, students receive unique job assignments and work in teams at their assigned business. By the end of the simulation each student completes a day’s work, develops a personal budget, deposits a paycheck at the bank and makes purchasing decisions.

JA Finance Park
JA Finance Park gives students the rare opportunity to experience their personal financial futures first-hand. Upon entering the center, students receive a ‘life situation’ with job, income, education, and family scenarios. Based on their adult persona, students visit businesses in the simulation to gather information to make financial decisions, such as managing a household budget, using banking services, and making purchasing and investment decisions.
