Local CPA Thomas F. Scanlon recently made a presentation to an enrichment class of 6th graders at Franklin Elementary School in North Franklin, CT. The class introduces students to the Stock Market Game and the basics of researching/choosing stocks and how to trade in the Stock Market Game. Teacher Matt Walsh requested a professional presentation through SIFMA’s Invest it Forward tm program for this class that meets weekly.
