Thanks to our 2009 Adopt-A-School Sponsors!
JA would like to thank the following supporters of our Adopt-A-School campaign for the 2008/2009 school year.
Thanks to the generosity of the following families, individuals and businesses, over $170,000 was raised to adopt the 36 Edmonton schools participating in our Adopt-A-School program this year. As a result, over 150 volunteers dedicated 1,074 hours teaching JA business education and financial literacy programs impacting the lives of over 4,800 grade 3-9 students in these 36 Edmonton schools.
WORLD-WIDE IMPACT! JA Worldwide (Junior Achievement) is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating young people about business, economics, and free enterprise. JA programs are taught by volunteers in class and in after-school locations reaching over 9 million students in 112 countries around the world... every year! STAY CONNECTED!

PARENTS! TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE ECONOMY:
Step one... start here! Download this FREE educational resource that JA has prepared to explain the basics of the stock market and recent fluctuations to our children. Take bits and pieces... add to it... water it down for the younger ones...or use it to compliment what you are already doing at home. However you use it, it is a catalyst for great discussion between you and your family and will create great learning moments to help prepare our kids for their future.
Step two... get your teenager involved in the JA Company Program! This 15 week after-school program for grade 9-12 students provides the BEST first hand experience of starting and running their own REAL business and gives them the skills and confidence to succeed in our economy.
