Happy 4th of July!

We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! In honor of the special occasion, the JA BizTown Times put together a special holiday edition of their newspaper! Here are a few highlights...

The 4th?

by newspaper CFO: Taylor Vail

The weather is CRAZY! The clouds are turning red and blue. It's raining white stars. The 4th of July is on its way! Uncle Sam is ready and all

the flags are being hung. The army is busy fighting for our freedom. Everyone is spreading the disease of red, white, and blue fever! Help celebrate the 4th: hang up a flag, watch fireworks, honor the troops, do anything. All you really need to do is have a great 4th!

The JA BizTown Times staff even wrote some funny fireworks poems!

"Roses are red, Violets are blue, Fireworks are fun, But explode on you!"

"Fireworks are fun, Fireworks are cool, If you set yourself on fire, You jump into a pool!"

"Fireworks are cool, Fireworks are fun, Once you set them alight, You better start to run!"

"Fireworks are red and blue, Stars are white, Celebrate the 4th, Or be scared of the night!"

And as a final reflection on the week, newspaper CEO, KJ, shared his thoughts about why kids should come to JA BizTown Summer Camp:

"I think kids should come to JA BizTown because it is fun and you learn a lot about the real world, and what you have to look forward to when you grow up. They should come also to learn how to handle their money correctly, learn how to balance their checkbooks, and learn how to run a business."

Our thanks go out to all the JA BizTown Campers for making the week such a blast!

JA BizTown Summer Camp Starts with a BANG!

We had our first summer camp session last week and everyone had a great time! If you want to get an inside peek at what was going on all week, check out some of the articles that appeared in our own camper-run newspaper, The JA BizTown Times!

Do You Think We Can Keep People Wellness?

by newspaper reporter: Erin Thomas

I thought about how well and clean JA BizTown is. Everyone is happy and most importantly, well. I wanted to learn more about this, so I went and interviewed none other than the CEO of the Wellness Center. I asked him, "Why is keeping citizens well so important?" He responded by saying, "It makes them happy and it will stop spreading diseases." I asked a few more questions and thanked him for his time. I came back after learning so much about staying clean and healthy. Go visit the Wellness Center and learn how to stay clean and healthy.

Spending Your Money Wisely

by newspaper CEO: KJ McKellar

I think you should save some money and spend some. My parents always say "Save some for a rainy day." I think that it would be good to do as the saying says and save your money for somehting that you really want to buy. I actually saved up for a toy that I really wanted.

We Got the Beat

by newspaper staff writer

Do you hear that rockin music on the radio? Well I got to learn how it all works. I got lucky and got an interview with the DJ, RJ. I asked him some questions and one answer that I thought was interesting. I asked, "What has been your favorite thing about your job?" He responded, "Just communicating with the other DJ and its just so much fun." I thanked him and went on my way. Next time you have the chance, go request a song at the Radio Station. After all, They Got The Beat!

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,

I think that at BizTown we should have TVs around town. The reason we would have TVs is so we can show a live broadcast from the AT&T TV Station. That also leads to my thought that the TV Station should be open. I think that would be a good addition.

-Restaurant

Dear Restaurant Writer,

I think that would be a very good idea! And a live broadcast would be very fun. A lot of people did want to work at the AT&T TV Station. Thank you so much for the great idea!

Sincerely,

The Editor
