Help us celebrate 100 years of providing Junior Achievement programs to students in nationally at this year’s Junior Achievement Time Warp Bowl-a-thon. Come to Victory Lanes, 1906 Commerce Point, Springfield, OH 45504, dressed in the fashion of your favorite decade. Win prizes for most spirited team, most creative outfit, and your trivia knowledge in addition to prizes based on pledges collected. Teams must register by Friday February 22.
JA programs teach young people about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy. For example, third grade students learn how to plan a city as part of Junior Achievement’s Our City™ program, and high school students learn that a positive financial future requires management strategies, including career exploration, budgeting, savings, wise use of credit, savvy shopping, consumer protection, and investment strategies in JA Personal Finance.
Even if you don’t score a turkey, you will be making a strike for local students’ education. So call Junior Achievement of Mad River Region 937-323-4725 ext 12 or email Crystal, csteiner@jrachieve.net for more details on how to get involved!
