“Street Cents” is a stock market game through WSYR News channel 9 from Syracuse.

Both CFM classes are currently participating in this competition along with 97 other classes from all over CNY.

Each class received an imaginary $100,000 to invest into four stocks. No more than 50% of the money could be invested in one stock.

Students researched and work together in each class to determine what their investments would be.

Class Activity

In CFM, we just concluded our career exploration unit.

Students spent the past two weeks collecting data from interest surveys, value profilers, and other career-oriented assessments.

Each individual was asked to prepare a 5 minute Power Point presentation.

◦ They were instructed to review their results for the class and provide detailed information about a matching career of their choice.
