The Fall FinanceChallenge ONLINE! sponsored by the Nebraska Council of Economic Education was introduced to the Personal Finance class as a great way to flex intellectual muscles and participate with students from across Nebraska in an exciting and fun competition.
Well that is just what Mrs. Budler's Personal Finance classes did on Friday, November 11th and came out dominating the state of Nebraska. Out of 186 teams in the high school division, Chadron had 4 teams in the top 10!! Chadron Team 9 came out on top! First place honors were given to Tait Earney, Alisha Rising and Braxtyn Hespe. Each one of these students won a $25 cash prize from the Nebraska Council of Economic Education. They didn't stop there however, Chadron Team 6 ranked fifth place overall with the team consisting of Ashlyn Eitemiller, Zach Banzhaf and Calen Johnson. Chadron Team 5 received sixth place honors. Team members included Megan Bradley, Logan Groves and Kenny Swiftbird. And wrapping up our top teams was Chadron Team 1 placing tenth and is made up of Nate Abegglen, Garrett Meisman and Nick Enos.
