GHS is Front Page on Wall Street Journal

wsj-logo-2GHS's Charity Student Investment Project is featured in the article titled "In Facebook IPO, Frenzy, Skepticism". Reporter Joe Light spent weeks interviewing our students and working on this story. Here is an exerpt from the article and link it on the Wall Street Journal's web site.

Every Monday and Wednesday at lunchtime, Mr. Benrud converts his technology classroom into the trading floor of the Charity Student Investment Project, a nonprofit student-run investment club. A live feed of a financial TV show fills the projection screen. Students each take a computer to research investments for their real-money pool of $2,900....

Please consider supporting the CSIP. 50% of all investment gains are donated to the GHS Education Foundation.

El Cajon and La Mesa Safety Alert

safety alertAt the end of last week, we had reports of two incidents of students being approached by strangers in vehicles on the way to school.  These were completely separate issues where students were approached by adult male non-students and asked if they wanted a ride to school. When this was reported to the school, our School Resource Officer (ECPD Officer) Tina Greer was immediately contacted.  Officer Greer took two reports and notified La Mesa and El Cajon Police Department.  Since the time of the incidents the El Cajon Police Department has conducted extra patrol and surveillance of the areas in question.  See Letter for further information and description.

Pass the Cap CampaignJust like the firefighters who recently asked the community to "fill the boot" to support worthy charities, the GHS Educational Foundation is asking families to "pass the cap" to support teacher mini-grants, which helps our teachers continue classroom excellence and innovation in the face of harsh budget cuts for education.  See the attached flyer for days when parents, alumni, and other volunteers will be at both GHS entrances with a Foothiller cap that needs filling!  You can drive by and drop off your tax-deductible donation, or send it with your students.  Or, make a direct donation at www.foothillerfoundation.com.

grainger donationThank you Grainger Inc for your donation to the Charity Student Investment Project! Grainger donated $300.00 to our "student-manager" investment portfolio. If you are interested in learning about personal finance and investing in the stock market then please feel free to stop by our meetings or visit our web site at http://charitystudentinvestmentproject.com/. The GHS Charity Student Investment Project is currently meeting every Monday and Wednesday during lunch in Mr. Benrud's room # 555. Our students manage "real-money" and "real-stock" in the markets. All investment decisions are 100% student driven. We are currently exploring investments in the Health Care and BioTechnology sectors as well as the possibility of investing in FaceBook when it goes public. If you'd like to make a donation in support of the CSIP please use this PayPal link to our donation page. 100% of donation will be deposited into the student-managed investment portfolio and they are tax deductable because of our 501c3 status.

You can follow our online discussions via our online forums.
