The Stock Market Game's online portfolio simulation concluded on April 27, with regional winners being determined. View the complete list of winners and details of awards receptions, on the ICEE web site's SMG Winners Spring 2007 page.

In addition to geographic regional winners around the state, The Stock Market Game program is announcing the first set of Cabrera Statewide Award winners. This special award is made possible by the generous support of ICEE board member Martin Cabrera, owner of Cabrera Capital Markets, Inc. and past Stock Market Game participant.

A student team taught by Mascoutah High School teacher Marsha Ragen has won the High School division of the Cabrera Statewide Award. The students and their teacher will travel to New York City in the next few weeks, for a three day trip that includes a visit to the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

A student team taught by Rogers Elementary School (Chicago) teacher Jerry Weissbuch has won the Elementary division of the Cabrera Statewide Award. Mr. Weissbuch and his students will receive an overnight stay at the Union League Club of Chicago, with visits to the Chicago Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Read more about Martin's generous funding and this top-level award.
