Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada Event
New JA Community Day Combines Halloween and the "Business of Life"
--Junior Achievement fills Oct. 31 school void for kids at Inspiration Center for holiday learning activity --
With Nevada Day school closures coinciding with Halloween, Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada is combining its hands-on budgeting and career programming with holiday-themed activities, games and decor for students at the inaugural JA Community Day. Youth, grades 4-11, are invited to explore the nonprofit organization’s two capstone programs, Betty’s JA BizTown and JA Finance Park, that make learning about money management, teamwork, and leadership a fun experience that plants seeds for lasting benefits for kids’ future financial success.
With their stores, businesses, park and open areas, the unique city-like designs of Betty’s JA BizTown and JA Finance Park – simulated cities built for kids – make them perfect settings for a one-of-a-kind trick-or-treating experience. Typically offered as school field trips during the academic year, these interactive financial literacy programs will now be available to broader community youth from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, October 31.
During JA Community Day, attendees will experience:
Students in grades 4–6 will explore careers, run businesses, and take on real-world jobs in Betty’s JA BizTown.
Students in grades 7–11 will step into adult life in JA Finance Park, where they’ll receive a job, salary and family situation and have to build a budget, make financial decisions, and discover how education impacts their future.
Youth are welcome to wear costumes, except for full-face coverings and masks for safety reasons.
