March 22, 2010
Honesdale, PA – The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education at The University of Scranton is pleased to announce the EconomicsPennsylvania Stock Market Game Competition for seven local school districts.
Beginning March 22, 2010, seven teams (one from each School District) will begin managing a hypothetical on-line investment portfolio. Portfolios begin with $100,000 in cash, and students will decide which stocks, bonds or mutual funds they want to purchase. The competition continues until May 28, 2010. Throughout the ten (10) week period, teams of students will work together to research investments and track their portfolio value. In the process, students will learn about their investment options for the future and increase their knowledge of savings and investing concepts. Each week the three schools with the greatest portfolio value will be featured in area media.
The competition will culminate with an awards luncheon at the University of Scranton. The participating School Districts are: Carbondale Area, Forest City Regional, Lakeland, North Pocono, Wallenpaupack Area, Wayne Highlands District, and Western Wayne.
The Stock Market Game program is used in thousands of classrooms nationwide to help teach math, social studies, business, economics, and language skills while focusing on the importance of long-term savings and investment. It is available to students in grades 4 through 12. The program teaches and reinforces essential skills and concepts such as critical thinking, decision-making, cooperation and communication, independent research and economic understanding. Recent research confirms the impact of the program on economics and mathematics test scores as well as growth in financial literacy. For more information and complete research reports, visit www.economicspa.org and look under Stock Market Game for SMG Impact in the Classroom.
Economics Pennsylvania has provided the Stock Market Game to schools in Pennsylvania for more than 20 years. Through its network of Centers for Economic Education, this statewide non-profit organization has conducted all staff development required for participation and offered on-going technical support for teachers and students who utilize the program in their classrooms. The recent partnership between Honesdale National and the University of Scranton which established The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education at The University of Scranton greatly enhances the program in the area.
The Honesdale National Bank is the oldest independently owned community bank headquartered in Northeastern PA, operating offices in Wayne, Pike, Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Luzerne Counties.

University of Scranton Establishes
The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education
The University of Scranton has established The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education at The University of Scranton, which was funded by a generous donation by the bank. The center will lead economic education outreach to elementary, middle and high school students in Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. At the announcement of the center are, seated from left, representing The Honesdale National Bank, William Schweighofer, president and CEO and Mark Graziadio, vice president, with Harold Baillie, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at The University of Scranton. Standing from left are, representing The University of Scranton, Michael Mensah, Ph.D., dean of the Kania School of Management and Edward Scahill, Ph.D., associate professor of economics and director of the center and representing EconomicsPennsylvania, Anita Kane, senior vice president.
Scranton, PA –Teaching local high school students about economics is the focus of an initiative forged by The Honesdale National Bank (HNB), The University of Scranton’s Kania School of Management and EconomicsPennsylvania, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving economic education for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Funded by a donation by HNB, the newly established The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education at The University of Scranton will lead economic education outreach to elementary, middle and high school students in Carbon, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties. The center will use EconomicsPennsylvania educational programs aimed at training teachers to help students better understand economic and financial literacy concepts, as well as gain a better understating of the global economy and ways to apply economic principles to solve problems.
“With this alliance between HNB, The University of Scranton, EconomicsPennsylvania and these participating schools, we take a significant step towards improving the financial and economic education of the area’s students,” said William Schweighofer, president and CEO of HNB. “These programs will provide additional tools for the educators, but more importantly, provide the students with expanded opportunities for learning and better prepares them for the transition to life after school. This is a substantial coordinated undertaking to expand the offering of financial and economic educational programs throughout Northeastern PA under the guidance of The University of Scranton and EconomicsPennsylvania and we at The Honesdale National Bank are especially pleased to be involved with this effort.”
One of the programs offered through The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education at The University of Scranton is the Stock Market Game for area students in grades four through 12. The Stock Market Game is a 10-week simulation game during which students invest an imaginary $100,000, buying stocks listed on the major securities exchanges. Students who compete in the game learn how financial markets operate and hone their mathematics and decision-making skills. Teams that place first, second and third in three age-group categories are presented with awards at a ceremony hosted at The University of Scranton.
For the spring 2010 semester, the center will specifically target Stock Market Game participation by students in the school districts of Forest City, Lakeland, Wallenpaupack, Wayne Highlands and Western Wayne. These districts will also receive personalized consulting, technical support and individualized program support.
