Last week in Boston, our students from Wilton High School traveled to participate in JA Future Bound, where they took part in the National Stock Market Challenge along with a full lineup of leadership and networking workshops and sessions.

They had an incredible time connecting with peers from across the country, where they were able to share ideas, build friendships, and gain new perspectives beyond the classroom. We’re so proud of how they represented JA of Greater Fairfield County every step of the way!

Thank you also to Staples for sponsoring the Sustainable Investing Award at Future Bound, which our team from Wilton won! Thanks to their support, we're able to recognize and celebrate A.5 Team for demonstrating capability in achieving the highest gains through their investments in environmentally sustainable businesses/stocks during the competition.🏆🌱 Thank you, Staples, for investing in future business leaders! 👏

The students are photographed here with Cristina Gonzalez, Chief Legal Officer at Staples.
