If you were in grade school in the 1980’s and 90’s you might remember a field trip to Exchange City, where you learned real life skills by “taking over” and running a city for the day. It’s changed a bit since then and is now known as Junior Achievement Biz Town. Students at Lincoln Elementary in Ottawa will soon have that experience. Principal Ariel Jankord says a big event is happening today:
The original program was supported by then Royals owner Ewing Kauffman, who had a passion for fostering entrepreneurial skills and real-world learning. It gives kids an opportunity to solve problems and make a difference in their community.
