Capitol Hill Challenge

Congratulations to Jace Baines, Josh Hermeling, Chauntina Whittle, and Mackenzie Carlos.  They were chosen to participate in the 2014 SIFMA Foundation Capitol Hill Challenge (CHC).   CHC is a special edition of the Stock Market Game program that matches student teams with your local Member Of Congress (MOC). These student will be matched with Representative Martha Roby.

Winners will be selected on the basis of their portfolio value at the end of the competition. The top 10 teams (only one winning team per school; only one winning team per Member of Congress) and their teacher will be rewarded with an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., to tour our nation’s capitol, gain insights into fiscal policy making, and potentially meet with their sponsoring Member of Congress.
