Academic Achievement

As a wrap-up of our stock market competition, MCM students built Crossing City and
it was a success!! Students were asked to create a business for a one-day city.
They researched the customer base, wrote a business plan, designed and built
stores, and opened for business. Students spent their own money to stock the
inventory for their stores. They had to determine their profit margin by calculating
their start-up costs and inventory after the city closed at the end of the day. Most
students made a mere $20 investment and were able to see a huge profit on their
efforts. All students were reimbursed their initial investment and the profits were
donated to the classroom account to help offset the cost of competitions, travel, and
supplies. Students will also make a donation to a city in need. They are debating
Katrina cities, or the city in Kansas. Madison Crossing City consisted of multiple
businesses. Some of the businesses included bakeries, a gym, general stores,
interactive games, a carnival, a photography studio, art museum, candy stand,
music store, bowling alley, and many more! Elementary students were invited to
shop the city. Middle School students. Thanks to all the students for shopping, the
parents for sending money, and the teachers for helping to direct traffic, reschedule
classes, and monitor students. Check out some of the pics in our photo gallery on
the home page!
