William Rall Elementary Students Learn About Business

Students at William Rall Elementary School recently took part in a series of educational games and interactive lessons presented by the trained corporate volunteers from Allstate and Clear Vision along with the Junior Achievement (JA) program.

Second-grade students studied the community and explored the concepts of businesses and production while third-graders discussed careers as well as businesses and the contributions they make on a city. Fourth-grade students took a more advanced look at earning and spending and how money flows in an economy. The fifth-grade presentation, ‘Our Nation,’ provided students with practical information about business’ need for individuals who can meet the demands of the job market.

The program introduced concepts such as globalization of business and the use of entrepreneurial thinking in order to meet the high-growth, high-demand careers of the world.
