Our friends from Cardinal Credit Union will award $10,000 in college scholarships to top-performing seniors in the Mad City Money competition at NDCL on March 28 at 1:00 PM.
Mad City Money is a simulated game of life designed to give young people a taste of the real world, complete with occupation, salary, spouse, student loan debt, credit card debt, and medical insurance payments.

Students will compete in teams of three. A maximum of 30 teams may register for the competition.
To register a team, students should visit the Mad City Money website. Registration, which requires the email address and phone number of each team member, closes on March 22.

Sofia Thornill to be honored as Eagle Scout
Senior Sofia Thornhill will be advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout by the Boys Scouts of America during a court of honor ceremony this weekend.
Sofia joins an extraordinary group of men and women who have earned the Eagle Scout rank, including acclaimed film director Steven Spielberg, retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, and Walmart founder Sam Walton. Only about 6% of all Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts.
Girls have been accepted into the Boys Scouts since 2019. In 2021, the first 1,000 girls became Eagle Scouts.
Sofia’s Eagle Scout project involved the construction of collapsible instrument stands for American Zagreb Junior Tamburitza (AZJT). These stands will be easier for the group to transport and store. Sofia and her team of volunteers devoted more than 75 hours to the project.
