 Supporter Spotlight
 Capital Group/American Funds &
 Sul Ross Middle and Esparza Elementary Schools

During the 1994-95 school year, Capital Group/American Funds formed a committee to consider the adoption of a local school. Having made a determination to stay with one school for the long term, the committee focused on finding a school that could best use the resources Capital Group/American Funds could provide. They selected Sul Ross Middle School, which provided the opportunity for consistent involvement. The partnership initially entailed a mentoring program, intramural sports program, and activities program. In 1998-99, Capital Group began providing Junior Achievement programs at Sul Ross Middle and one of its feeder schools, Esparza Elementary.

At the conclusion of its 10th year in partnership with Sul Ross Middle School and Northside Independent School District (NISD), the Adopt-A-School Program was honored with the 2005 Governor’s Volunteer Award for Corporate Citizenship. This fall, associates from Capital Group/American Funds again taught the JA programs at Esparza Elementary, with Sul Ross scheduled to participate in the spring of 2007. Congratulations to all involved in making this partnership a dynamic relationship that continues to grow.
