John Street School fifth graders participated in an engaging, hands-on experience at Commerce Plaza in Levittown on March 11.
In preparation for the visit, students spent time in the classroom learning about banking, managing finances and the fundamentals of financial literacy. At Commerce Plaza, the fifth graders dressed in their finest business attire to role-play various jobs within a simulated business. They wrote checks, paid bills online, visited the ATM machine and worked hard at their assigned job.
“The students said it was the best trip they ever went on!” Karen Perlak, a fifth grade teacher, said.
