 H-E-B

Our thanks to all the H-E-B partners throughout south Texas for their generosity, enthusiasm, and energy. Over 100 volunteers provided JA programs to 2,432 students in greater San Antonio, Laredo, and Corpus Christi. H-E-B is the top corporate donor again this year and also raised over $146,000 in bowl-a-thon support and sponsored many of JA's special events. Our thanks to board members, Jorge Elizondo (San Antonio), Rock Ruiz (Corpus Christi), and Russell Carnes (Laredo) for their leadership.



 JA in a Day Programs a Huge Success!

Junior Achievement would like to thank JP Morgan Chase Card Services, Clarke American and East Central High School JROTC for their participation in the JA in a Day programs at Ed Cody Elementary, Leon Valley Elementary and Harmony Elementary. JA in a Day programs allow volunteers to impact thousands of students' lives by spending an entire day in a local school serving as role models while facilitating the 5 lessons in the JA Elementary School Program. Over 2,100 students received the JA program in one day during the spring semester because of the participation of 99 volunteers. We'd like to recognize the following company and school coordinators for their outstanding assistance in organizing the events:

Lauri Birkelo, Clarke American (pictured above)
Lisa Ellison, Ed Cody Elementary
Deborah Hansen, Harmony Elementary
Sgt. Wayne Harper, East Central High School JROTC
Anna Pekarsky, Leon Valley Elementary
Crystal Valdez, JPMorgan Chase Card Services

Congratulations on a job well done!
