FALL STOCK MARKET GAME RESULTS IN PINNACLE VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL STATE WIN


December 14, 2023

 

LITTLE ROCK– From Bentonville to Barton, from Jonesboro to Texarkana, Arkansas, students learn the basics of investing through The Stock Market Game™. Students in grades 4-12 competed in the statewide personal finance competition during the fall 2023 semester; Pinnacle View Middle School in Little Rock took home the top prize as the overall 1st place state winner. 

The Stock Market Game™ is an investment simulation facilitated nationwide by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Foundation. Economics Arkansas, a nonprofit educational organization that trains educators to incorporate economic and personal finance concepts into the PreK-12 classroom, facilitates the statewide program each year.

The Stock Market Game™ challenges students to grow a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio over each fall and spring semester or the whole school year. A yearlong component of the competition is currently underway, and the spring session begins January 8, 2024.

The winners of each session receive cash prizes and awards. Economics Arkansas will recognize the 1st place winners of the fall competition on January 18, 2024, during an awards luncheon at the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock.
