Shamokin Area stayed on top in the high school division in Week 9 of the EconomicsPennsylvania Stock Market Game, and took over the lead in the middle school division.
The high school team's adviser is David Kopitsky, and Stephen Keller is the adviser of the middle school team.
The Stock Market Game is sponsored by The News-Item and Sunbury Motors. The Stock Market Game is an award-winning educational program in which students are given a virtual cash amount of $100,000 and are encouraged to create the best performance portfolio using a live trading simulation. Students work in teams.
(While there are multiple teams taking part in the game at each participating school, EconomicsPennsylvania is reporting the dollar amount for the leading team at each school for this weekly report.)
