Elliott's 5th grade class got to spend the morning at the JA Biztown near us.
It's put on by Junior Achievement, and the kids have been working on this for months.
They applied for the jobs they wanted, learned to balance a checkbook, learned the responsibilities for the jobs they were given, etc.
Elliott spent the morning as the CFO of the news station.
Such an appropriate position for him - working with money, everything is orderly, he gets to be the boss.
Love his bow tie?
Here he is in his "office".
So fun to watch him work!
And I had my own gig. (And so did Brian - at City Hall - but I have no pictures)
I was the adult at Build-a-Bear. The kids could use the money they earned at their jobs to buy things during their breaks. So some of them came and stuffed a bear. All of the bears that were stuffed went to a charity - pretty cool.
Loved this day!
