One of the fun things that the kids do in 6th grade is Biz Town. It is a simulated town where all of the kids run businesses. The leader of the whole thing is the mayor. McKay was assigned by his social studies teacher, Ms. Rushwin to be the Mayor of his group (there are three groups that go on 3 different days). He had the best experience! His friend dared him to wear a suit (they were supposed to dress for their part), so he did (with Grinch socks). As mayor McKay was over the City Council, which was all of the social studies teachers. In his first meeting he said "my how the tables have turned." They all thought that was pretty great.
He had to speak many times in front of everyone and he did awesome! I was substitute teaching that day at Hendricks and the principal came and told me how well he did. He told Josh McKay is her favorite 6th grader ever. H really is a great kid.
Being sworn in as mayor.
Attending the CEO training.
He got to sum up the day's activities and tell everyone how well they did. What a neat experience for our McKay!
