Eighth Grade Students Win First Place in the New Jersey Stock Market Game
Saint Dominic School is proud to announce that a team of eighth grade students has won first place in the Middle School Southern Division of the fall session of the New Jersey Stock Market Game! MaryKate Flanagan, Josie Gondek, and Giovanni Pescatore diligently researched various companies to invest $100,000 in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
Over 300 teams competed in this three month
session, and the team attained over a 21% growth
return on their investments! The students truly
enjoyed the challenge of the Stock Market Game
