STUDENTS ► Continued from Page 1 meet the demands of local students. Now JA is able to offer business learning to almost 28.000 students this year, up 15.000 from last year. Exchange City, a $20 million popular program offered by JA, is already up and running in the newly remodeled building. This $20 million fund also helped to fund the redevelopment of the program. Duringthegrand opening, Fall Creek Intermediate School students were the first to try out the new facility. Fall Creek’s fifth grade students spent six weeks at school learning about business exchanges before embarking on their one-day trip to Exchange City. Upon arrival crf'the new facility students witnessed an old-style dinner where Noble Romans pizza will be housed in the near
future. “Noble Romans will be ran by students who are involved in upper level finance," said Victor George, executive vice president and chief operating officer of JA. In March, high school students will be able to w'ork at JA’s Noble Romans franchise and possibly provide food to those participating in the programs offered by Junior Achievement. After a brief tour of the facility, the students were able to become business minded and explore the world that adults witness evenday. Electing city officials, purchasing a meal, buying a newspaper, purchasing an ad for a radio spot, shipping FedEx packages and depositing checks are all the business matters that are handled by students who participate in Exchange City.

“While here they will have to pay utilities,” said Senior Vice President of Education Sharon Lents. “We have a meter that tracks their utilities and they will pay. They earn two checks within their stay here and the highest paid position is the bank president.” Junior Achievement has provided such ahigh tech facility that students will print at least fourpage newspapers within their stay at Exchange City. That is not all, similar to Exchange City, but for eighth grade students is Finance Park where students will learn to handle finances ^nd balance a checkbook. “We estimate that in May, Finance Park will be up and running,” said Lents. Housed in the new r facility will be two Exchange City areas, a Finance Park and an area where local students may come and use the facility as a community activity center. “As long as we see a need to have this area available for area students then we will keep it open,” said George. So exactly how are students enjoving Exchange City? “It’s fun. At school we had job applications and I applied and got the job,"said Zenas Shi bank president whose job was to pay the students. “I give people loans when they make deposits too.” For more information on Junior Achievement, call (317) 2525900.

year. Dentflfl hygiene is important for many reasons. If a child is in pain from a toothache, it is hard for them to pay attention in school. They lose sleep and have problems eating as well. “This is a problem w hereyou can’t stay home and it gets better,” said Reynolds. “It’s not like a cold. It has to be treated. Dentists also get something out of the Give Kids a Smile! Initiative. "I personally find the most fulfillment working w ith children,” said DeLaRosa. “With this event, we are seeing volunteerism at its best." She
doesn’t know for a fact, but DeLaRosa believes the fact that they are giving so much to kids in need motivates IDA members to lend their services and expertise. This event also seeks to raise awareness of the growing number of Hoosief families who don’t have access to dental care. “We need more dental care available," said Reynolds.Health care is an issue Congress is dealing w ith right now, and dental care is not something widely available to everyone. IDA uses school nurses as
the front lines of recruitment for children to participate. Give Kids a Smile! is for children 16 and under and appointments must be made in advance* A parent or legal guardian must accompany all patients. All children are invited to attend and receive education. Kids who are eligible for the comprehensive care will be determined when an appointment is scheduled. To make an appointment, call (800) 777-0955. Participants will learn which location to visit once an appointment is made.
