January - Lexi's Biz Town Field Trip

The fifth graders at our elementary school participate in the coolest thing, Biz Town.

They prepare for months to go to Biz Town.

Biz Town is a miniature city that the kids get to run.

The kids had to learn about different jobs and pick their top three choices.

Then they had to do job interviews.

Then they were selected for a job and had to receive training before the field trip.

Lexi was choosen to be a medical technologist at Merit Medical.

I had planned to go on the field trip with her but due to my foot surgery, wasn't able too.

But I had several friends that texted me pictures of Lexi through out the day.

Here' Lexi all dressed up for her big day.

Here's Lexi with her friend Brylee. Brylee was the mayor of Biz Town.

She ran and had to give a speech and get elected 

and did lots of training and had to give speeches at Biz Town.

Some of Lexi's other friends were tellers at a bank and worked for Delta airlines.

Here's Lexi on one of her breaks.

Her friends all lucked out and got to take their breaks at the same time.

They met up at the Maverik and got drinks and treats together.

Each kid was given a certain amount of money to spend on the field trip.

They could spend it however they wanted but had to keep track of it in their check book.

Here's a "medical" supply Lexi made at work.



And here's Lexi's check book.







Lexi had a fun field trip although her feet hurt by the end of the day.
And she realized that she didn't want to be a medical technologist when she grows up.
