Thank you to all the UCONN student volunteers who brought the Junior Achievement program to Saint James School today.

Through Junior Achievement, our K-5th grade students spent an entire day working on basic concepts of business and economics at an age-appropriate level. Each grade has a specific “curriculum” the facilitators present in addition to bringing their own real-life experiences into the discussion.

It’s a fun day that ties in concepts like money management, good communication skills, and entrepreneurship as well as economic concepts and facts about the working world.

Below are pictures from several of the classrooms:
