Stocks in the Future

We were excited to welcome Jeffrey from T. Rowe Price to Hampstead Hill Academy!

Jeffrey spent time with students breaking down stock tables and helping them understand how to read and interpret stock data, an important step in building real world financial literacy skills.

Thank you to Jeffrey and T. Rowe Price for supporting our students and helping bring these concepts to life in the classroom!

At SIF Spring Spectacular: Bloom & Bid, Edward Ramsey, Jr. shared a powerful presentation on financial literacy, access, and empowerment. Drawing from more than 25 years of experience in advertising, media, and marketing strategy, Edward spoke about the barriers many students face when it comes to financial education and the importance of giving young people the tools, exposure, and confidence to build brighter futures.

As a Senior Executive turned educator, Edward’s message highlighted the life changing impact programs like Stocks in the Future can have by helping students not only learn about money, but truly understand and speak its language. We are grateful for his insight, passion, and continued support of financial empowerment for students!

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful for their sacrifice and the freedoms they made possible.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

As we continue to reflect on SIF Spring Spectacular: Bloom & Bid, we’re reminded of how many meaningful moments made the evening so special and we’re excited to keep sharing more highlights in the weeks ahead.

Thank you to the incredible sponsors who helped make the event such a success! Your support helps create opportunities for students to learn, grow, and build brighter futures.

Our students are the reason we do this work! At last week’s SIF Spring Spectacular: Bloom & Bid, two 8th grade students from Hamilton Elementary/Middle School confidently presented their research on Maryland based publicly traded companies, including T. Rowe Price and Northrop Grumman.

It was inspiring to see the hard work they put into their presentations, the confidence they showed speaking in front of such a large audience, and the incredible job they did sharing what they learned.

Moments like these remind us that when students are given opportunities to learn, lead, and grow, they rise to the occasion. We are so proud of these young changemakers and excited to see all they accomplish in the future!

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, sponsored, donated, and helped make SIF Spring Spectacular: Bloom & Bid such a meaningful and successful event. Your support helps create opportunities like these for our students every day.

This week, we’re celebrating the educators who bring Stocks in the Future to life in classrooms across Baltimore.

Through real world connections, meaningful conversations, and hands on learning, SIF teachers help students build confidence and skills that will stay with them far beyond middle school.

Thank you for being the heart of this work and the impact behind every lesson!
