Mr. Alperowitch Speaks to PYP 5 About Investments

It is always a valuable experience for the children to have a parent come in and share useful knowledge. This is what PYP 5 parent, Mr. Alperowitch, did with our students this morning. He shared his expertise with students and gave some insight on methods of investment and historical examples from companies such as Apple, McDonalds, and Citibank.  

We would like to thank Mr. Alperowitch for taking time out of his busy schedule. We hope this insight helps guide our students towards a bright future! 

If you would like to come in and speak to our classes about a relevant topic we are learning, please feel free to contact us via your child's diary.
