SSEF Board Member Megan Harris and her business partner, Michael Robinson, presented a "Microcosm of the Stock Market through a Mock IPO" program for all sixth-grade Social Studies classes at Ridgeview Middle School.

Students learned about “the interactions between entrepreneurs and investors,” “that some businesses need to lower their prices for consumers to buy,” “how investing works” and “how to manage money and make a profit.” They enjoyed, brainstorming ideas for new products and mock “investing" in new companies. One student commented, “Thanks for teaching us about the real way shopping works.” Thanks so much to Megan Harris and Michael Robinson for sharing your expertise with students!
