Blue Chip Students
Junior Achievement of North Florida (JA) is hosting the JA Stock Market Challenge for the second time on Wednesday, Nov. 8. Starting at 10 a.m., 40 teams made up of approximately 160 high school students from 10 local schools will gather at the Gallagher Club East at EverBank Stadium for the JA Stock Market Challenge, part of the JA Take Stock in Your Future program.
The students will participate in mock trading on the simulated stock market floor, buying and selling a pseudo-$1 million in stocks to create a stock portfolio with the highest value. The live competition will be the finale of the JA Take Stock in Your Future program, designed to stimulate young people’s interest in personal finance and money management.
More than 700 students are participating in JA’s in-classroom programs at Paxon School for Advanced Studies, Stanton College Preparatory School, and Bartram Trail, Duncan U. Fletcher, Englewood, Jean Ribault, KIPP Bold City, Samuel W. Wolfson, Mandarin and Baldwin Senior high schools.
