Gallaher's Fourth Grade Stock Market Team Took Home FIRST Place
Gallaher has some budding investors!! A team of Gallaher's 4th graders participated in the Stock Market Game competition and took home FIRST place out of a total of 73 teams in the grades 3-5 category!! Gallaher's First Place team members were Pablo Romero D., Moomtahina K., and Colby L. who showed teamwork, strategy and leadership in investing their portfolio. Honorable mentions were given to Riley L., Odalis D., Nowroj J., Corey W., Khoi N., Ifedayo A-O., Logan A., David R., and Carl H. who were Gallaher 5th grade students that placed in the top 20 of the competition.
The Stock Market Game, held from October 7–December 13, is an educational competition where students learn about investing and managing a pretend portfolio of stocks. Each team begins with a virtual $100,000 portfolio that they invest in real-world stocks. The students track the performance of their investments and make decisions based on the rise and fall of stock prices. This is a remarkable challenge for the 4th and 5th grade students who participated.
Congratulations to all the students who participated and learned valuable lessons about the stock market!
