We have finished our first week of Young AmeriTowne and the students have learned so much!  Next week the students will be voting for mayor and judge, assessing their own skill, applying and interviewing for jobs in the Towne shops.  They will participate in job training and a staff meeting with the other employees in their shop.  We will become expert check and deposit writers as well as having the skill to balance of checkbook (wouldn't want to overdraft at AmeriTowne.)
