Here is the day's itinerary for you.

 

8:30-9:45

Volunteers arrive at JA Finance Park by 8:30 and attend the volunteer training to prepare them for the day. Volunteers need to ride separately from the bus since their commitment begins earlier than the arrival of the buses. 

 

10:15-1:30

Students will engage in the various components of the simulation. You will run one of the stations.


Students will rotate through lunch during this time frame. Remember there are no microwaves on site for student or staff use during lunches.  


ALSO, you need to bring a bag lunch.  There is not a place to buy food at the facility.

1:30-1:45

Finalize the simulation, reflect on the experience and board buses to return to home school for end of the day dismissal.
