Junior Achievement

Today volunteers from Discover Financial came to participate with our students in the Junior Achievement "JA for a Day" program. We had 15 volunteers who taught lessons about community, society, commerce, work readiness, financial literacy and entrepreneurship. The representatives were very impressed with our students, as their questions were thoughtful and they were respectful and engaged in the lessons. One of the JA volunteers was actually a graduate of Saint Mary School in 1985 and was thrilled to be back in our familiar halls (Mrs. Casanover even found his picture in an old yearbook!) He had many great memories to share with the students and mentioned that his SMS education prepared him well for high school and for life. Be on the look-put for a press release about the day!
