Special funding for our programs has been made available for Lackawanna County Schools thanks to the following sponsors:
Proudly supported by the North Penn Charitable Foundation
Our sponsored stock market competition offers players in grades 3-12 the opportunity to manage a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio by investing in stocks chosen from the USA markets: American, New York and NASDAQ exchanges. The competition teaches students about investing and encourages financial literacy through hands-on activities in the classroom. For more information on our partnership with these sponsors, click to view the full press release.
Sponsored Schools
The schools invited to participate are Abington Heights, Dunmore, Holy Cross, Lakeland, Mid Valley, North Pocono, Old Forge, Riverside, Scranton Prep, Scranton SD, and Valley View School Districts along with private schools.
Awards Ceremony
If possible, a virtual or in person celebration will be held in May to honor the schools, teachers, and their students. They will be honored by the university, bank executives, and PennCFL staff.
