Today our Deep Creek Middle FBLA members had an amazing time learning the basics of investing with Chris Ferretti , Ashley Ferretti, and TJ Bartakke from Integrated Financial Partners (IFP) 🙌 We’re incredibly grateful to them for volunteering their time and sharing real-world knowledge that made finance fun and approachable.
From learning key investment concepts to testing their skills on a stock market simulator, our members loved the challenge of trying to grow their money 💰📊 (and maybe getting a little competitive 😄).
Thank you again for inspiring the next generation of business leaders, we can’t wait to build on what we learned today!
