Jordan Daley & Trenton Nordenger, both seniors in Mrs. Jennifer Collier's Financial Algebra Class, finished 1st in the Stock Market Game and 6th overall in the state out of almost 2000 teams this fall! They are the fourth team at DHS to achieve 1st place in the past five semesters! They received medallions, $125, and a trophy for their efforts.
The Stock Market Game is an online simulation that engages students in grades 4-12 in the world of economics, investing, and personal finance. Each team gets $100,000 (in the simulation) to invest for 12 weeks.
Jordan and Trenton's portfolio made about 28% over that span! Way to go! #LeopardPride #LeopardFamily
The DES Literati Book Fair came to a close last Friday. We want to thank all the students, teachers, and community for participating and cooperating during the week. A special THANK YOU goes to the De Queen Rotary Club for their generous donation to ensure all 3rd graders receive a book from the book fair. The 3rd graders were so happy to pick a book to call their own. Thanks to everyone! #LeopardFamily #leopardpride
