Local Student Wins Statewide InvestWrite Competition.

Emma Goehner, a 10th grader at Blue Ridge Christian High School, won first place in the statewide high school division of the InvestWrite Competition in the Spring of 2019 for her essay on Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart. This contest is the second part of the Stock Market Game™ and InvestWrite® competition and is administered by the Virginia Council on Economic Education each year. Emma traveled to Richmond for an awards luncheon hosted by the Richmond Federal Reserve on the 23rd floor. She was also honored locally at James Madison University, where all of the regional recipients were honored. See the full story on Emma.
