The team of four eighth-grade students, Shawn Van Vorce, Chris Orcutt, Sarah Parsons, and Lindsey King, swept top honors out of a field of 1,302 high school, middle school and elementary teams in Ohio. Beginning in February, the students were given $100,000 to invest however they wanted. They invested in real-time which means the stocks and mutual funds were reflective of the actual market. "They had the freedom to go any direction they wanted to go in," said Shaun Briggs, the Eastwood Middle School Career Based Intervention coordinator. The team apparently chose the right direction. In just over two months, they were able to grow their investment to $115,947. "I'd be pretty happy with 16-grand," Orcutt said. Instead, Orcutt will have to settle for $50 cash. He and his teammates were each awarded that amount for being state champions. |
