Students learn to trade stocks at Southmont Elementary

ASHEBORO, N.C. — Earlier this week, the stock market hit an all time high and a group Southmont Elementary School students in Mrs. Tyndall’s stock market class were watching closely.

Mrs. Tyndall also has stock market classes that she coaches at Tabernacle Elementary School. She encourages other schools to get involved as well.

The SIFMA Foundation’s Stock Market Game™ (SMG) gives students the chance to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in an on-line portfolio. They think they’re playing a game. You know they’re learning economic and financial concepts they’ll use for the rest of their lives.
