I'm sure your kids told you all about how awesome BizTown was and how much they learned. We've spent some time reflecting on our experiences at BizTown and how these learning experiences will help us in the future. We are super grateful for the parent volunteers who did training and helped support our students at BizTown and for all the companies who have donated so much to provide a place like JA BizTown. To learn more about BizTown, ask a current Sunset fourth grader!
