Jackson PreK-8's 5th grade students took a hands-on approach to learning at JA BizTown! This immersive program gave them the chance to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting—running eight different businesses, managing City Hall, handling payroll, repaying loans, and even creating products and services.
Their hard work, teamwork, and leadership truly showcased #BearcatPride🐾
