Stewart School is proud to announce the outstanding performance of one of its students in this year's Stock Market Game Regional Competition. William Capperlelli, a fourth grade student in Mr. Messier's class, distinguished himself by placing third out of 63 teams in the Elementary Regional Divisional competition, which included grades 4, 5 and 6. Additionally, he finished 14th in the entire state competition, which consisted of more than 2,000 teams. His outstanding performance earned him recognition at both the national and state levels by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and The Stock Market Game.
The Stock Market Game™ is an online simulation of the global capital markets that engages students in grades 4-12 in the world of economics, investing and personal finance, preparing them for financially independent futures. More than 600,000 students take part in the Stock Market Game every school year across all 50 states, with the program reaching a total of 22 million students since its inception in 1977.
Mr. Messier's class and Garden City Public Schools are immensely proud of William's achievement and the dedication he has shown to the Stock Market Game. This accomplishment not only highlights his talent and hard work but also demonstrates the effectiveness of The Stock Market Game in providing students with a robust, challenging and appropriate learning experience that prepares them for their future financial endeavors.
