BizTown Update

All students received their job assignments for BizTown on Tuesday, and met with their coworkers in shop meetings yesterday and today.  Final preparations are being made for our trip to BizTown on Friday. 
The CEO and CFO of each shop has filled out loan papers for their shop's start-up loan which will include salaries, taxes, interest, and other expenses.  All employees worked on their shop's radio, newspaper, and web-page advertising, and will be responsible to run the best business possible in order to pay off their business loans.
Students are also preparing their bank account by filling out their deposit slips for their first paycheck, writing a check to open a savings account, and entering this information in their check register.

***All students and adult volunteers need to bring a lunch on Friday.  Drinks will be sold at BizTown.  The students do not need to bring money.  They will pay for all purchases with their BizTown salary.  Students should wear their school uniforms on Friday.
