On December 11, 32 student members of Fairfield Prep’s Stock Market Club became the first public group allowed to visit the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since 9/11. The students, along with three chaperones, visited the Museum of American Finance and the NYSE on Wall Street in New York City. A BIG “Thank You” to Mr. Roselli P'16 for arranging our visits and Mrs. Gorab (Guidance) for helping to chaperone. The day after our visit, Hilton Hotels went public and they had models on the floor in spa robes that said Hilton on the back to promote the IPO. The floor reporter Robert Frank was talking live with them right behind the CNBC booth, and said: “We have another milestone, yesterday the exchange welcomed back our first group tour in a very long time, hosted by Morgan Stanley, the boys from Fairfield Prep came to visit us with their teachers Ms. Leonardo and Ms. Gorab.” His counterpart at the desk Simon Hobbs commented, “I understand it’s a popular class.” Robert Frank: “Actually it’s a club, not a class, and every grade level was represented here; I love the concept, it’s just too bad they didn’t come today, the view was better.” Overall, the trip was a great experience, and hopefully the first of many more to come.
