GATE Students Learn the Stock Market—This
year the Mountain View GATE students are cur-
rently participating in the StockMarketGame.org competi-tion. The students are learning about investing, stocks, and how the stock market works. Each student opened a virtual account with $100,000. They research, buy, and sell stocks that are on the NYSE and NASDAQ. This is a competition that is divided up by regions. We are in the San Francisco region. Currently our students are doing well. Our top three student investors are in second, third, and seventh place for our region. The competition continues until April 16. At that time, we will celebrate all our GATE investors.

1st and 3rd Grade Student Send Val-entine’s Day Cards to St. Jude Kids—First grade students in Mrs. Rios’ class and third graders from
Mrs. Panosian’s class performed acts of kindness by se-lecting Valentine’s Day e-cards featuring layouts inspired by St. Jude’s patient art. These golden bears choose ei-ther pre-written cards or created their own special Valen-
tine’s Day messages to brighten the spirits of St. Jude patients. Thanks to Mrs. Rios and Mrs. Panosian for tak-ing on such a worthwhile project!
