Bring Real-World Education to
theWoodland Elementary School
the
Junior Achievement of
Cameron County
Today’s
youth need inspiration, hope, and the opportunity to learn life skills that
will engage them in their education and better prepare them for life after
graduation. Junior Achievement programs teach young people the three pillars of
success: financial literacy, entrepreneurship and workplace readiness.
One
group who is making that happen in Cameron
County is Junior Achievement (JA) of Cameron County . With the participation
from local JA business executives and volunteers, JA has a formal and ongoing
presence in our local area.

Tona Hohns Solak, Rebecca Pasquinelli, Jill Carlson, Carl Carlson, Robert

were taken in the third grade class that learned about Our City. Our city
studies careers, the
skills people need to work in specific careers, and how businesses contribute
to a city. Students learn concepts such
as: banking, careers, economic institutions, entrepreneur, income, resources,
skills, and zones.
