Quotes “It was a great experience. Isaiah has never been so excited for something academic at school. He says he knows he wants to major in finance now. He absolutely loved the whole program.” -Samantha Zoske, 6th Grade Parent “I recently had the privilege of volunteering for my son Sam’s class trip to JA BizTown. The various stations are well thought out, realistic and challenged the students in a fun setting. The hands-on learning opportunity was unique and I appreciated the opportunity to be involved!” -Bianca Greazel, 6th Grade Parent and BizTown volunteer
