Inspiring students Inspiring students Inspiring students Inspiring students and equipping them with the skills and tools they will need to be successful in the workforce is essential in today’s world. JA programming, starting in Kindergarten and extending through twelfth grade, offers young people opportunities to learn, grow, and prosper as they cope with a challenging economic climate. The thousands of individuals and organizations who give of their time, talents, and resources are the reason that today’s students will succeed. I sincerely appreciate the energy and dedication that JA’s Board of Directors, volunteers, and teachers offer to our organization. Because of these individuals, Middle Tennessee students can gain the knowledge they need to become tomorrow’s CEOs, leading the next generation of decision makers to build better communities.

Junior Achievement inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy.

“The earlier that you can have a positive impact on someone’s life the better the

chance of getting results.”

Elementary School Elementary School Elementary School Elementary School JA’s Elementary School programs include seven sequential themes for Kindergarten through sixth grade students. Students progressively learn concepts centering around the economics related to families, communities, cities, and

regions. Hands-on activities help to reinforce the student’s learning by allowing them to connect their classroom learning with the

real-world.

Middle School Middle School Middle School Middle School JA’s Middle School programs reinforce the value of education and teach students about the future economic benefits of staying in school. Programs build upon the Elementary concepts and challenge students to make decisions concerning

their future, both educationally and professionally. Students also begin to learn vital workforce skills such as communication and

problem solving.

High School High School High School High School JA’s High School programs help students make informed, intelligent decisions about their future and cultivate skills that will be useful in the business world. Volunteers work to bridge the classroom and the Board room by fostering real-

world work skills and financial literacy. Students gain the knowledge and motivation that they need to graduate and become

successful members of the workforce.

Job Shadow Job Shadow Job Shadow Job Shadow JA’s Job Shadow program allows students to see how the world of work truly operates. High School students spend a day experiencing all of the components that make up a typical day in the workforce. Whether in a meeting room, a

recording studio, or an office, students have the opportunity to find out what it takes to prepare for and acquire the job of their

dreams.

Junior Achievement’s classroom programs are designed to build upon each other as students progress in school. Students are inspired to be an active part of the economy—from helping their families to shadowing a business executive. Programs are offered at no cost to teachers and volunteers, but are fully funded by generous community supporters. For only $34 per student, young people can be equipped with the skills they need for success in life. We can shape tomorrow’s CEOs today by instilling students with financial literacy knowledge, critical thinking skills, and business ethics.

““““JA BizTown is a wonderful experience for character building as well as life

skills needed for the future.”

-Dana Smith Parent Volunteer,

Benny Bills Elementary School

Classroom Programs

JA BizTown programming is offered to schools at a nominal fee thanks to generous

community supporters; costs provided by sponsors are $60 per student. Ford Motor Credit

joined the JA BizTown effort in December 2008, providing 100 students the opportunity to

spend a day in the city. JA Board Member Dave LeBreux presented the school with gifts

from Ford and accepted a key to the city from the JA BizTown Mayor. Target also offered

support by sponsoring transportation for 100 students in May 2009, allowing them to be

inspired by the opportunities that the program delivers.

The 14 shops in JA BizTown can be sponsored by companies and organizations from the area. Sponsors have the opportunity to

fully brand and outfit their shop to receive maximum marketing benefits in thanks for their investment. Mars Pet Care US opened

the Pedigree Dog Store in JA BizTown, providing merchandise for students to sell in the shop, including adoptable dogs, t-shirts,

and rubber bracelets. The business has become one of the most popular for students, with its products in high demand for citizens.

Nashville Mayor Karl Dean visited JA BizTown on November 18, 2008, spending time with students from Mt. View Elementary School. Mayor Dean was interviewed by the Newspaper and TV Studio, received a snack from the Restaurant, and spoke with business CEOs. The JA BizTown Mayor read a proclamation to her fellow townspeople and presented Mayor Dean with a key to the city, welcoming him as an honored guest among the JA BizTown Citizens.

JA BizTown truly brings classroom learning to life for 5th-grade students. The program is located at the JA of Middle Tennessee headquarters in Nashville, where students spend a day learning how to run a business, earn a

paycheck, manage a checkbook, and pay off a business loan. Before their visit, students undergo six weeks of

curriculum-based learning at school so that they are fully prepared to be a JA

BizTown citizen. After applying and interviewing for a job, the students are hired

in one of JA BizTown’s 14 shops as CEOs, Sales Managers, CFOs, Reporters,

Bank Tellers, or Radio Disc Jockeys; students even have an election to select the

Mayor of the town. The curriculum and simulation of this program vividly

illustrate the connection between hard work and tangible success while allowing

students to gain a firsthand understanding of their roles as citizens, consumers,

and participants in a free-market economy.

JA Volunteers JA Teachers

Junior Achievement’s committed teachers understand the immense value JA programs bring to their students. That is why, year after year, Middle Tennessee educators believe in this program and register to host volunteers in their classrooms. JA programs give teachers an opportunity to provide their students with lessons in time management, teamwork, oral and written communication skills, and leadership, among many others. Not only will these skills help students to succeed in the workplace as adults, these concepts also help students perform better in their classrooms. Junior Achievement helps shape well-rounded individuals who will grow to become tomorrow’s business leaders, corporate executives, community activists, mothers, fathers, and neighbors. Together, Junior Achievement and Middle Tennessee teachers are influencing a strong generation for the future.

During the 2008-2009 school year, 1,803 teachers from 257 schools recognized the importance of Junior Achievement and hosted a JA volunteer in their classrooms. Teachers from 68 schools trained students in financial literacy, work place skills, and responsible citizenship through the JA BizTown curriculum. Additionally, 40 teachers allowed their high schoolers to leave the classroom for a day to shadow a professional in an area of interest to the student through JA’s Job Shadow program. Through these combined efforts, 44,833 students benefited from valuable JA curriculum.

Junior Achievement’s volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization. In 2008-2009, more than 2,100 individuals donated their time, talents, and resources to bring JA’s educational programming to Middle Tennessee’s students. Through teaching the traditional multi-week classroom format, hosting high schoolers during Job Shadow days, mentoring citizens in JA BizTown, and implementing JA in a Day events at 12 local elementary schools (in which all JA lessons are taught in one day instead of over a period of several weeks), Junior Achievement volunteers impacted the lives of nearly 45,000 students throughout the region.

An Unprecedented Milestone was achieved in May 2009 as dedicated Junior Achievement volunteer Suzanne Bingham taught her 100th JA class! In honor of this accomplishment, JA staff members and Suzanne’s Ford Motor Credit Company co-workers presented her with an award at the conclusion of the class at Paragon Mills Elementary School in Nashville. Nashville Mayor Karl Dean also recognized Suzanne with a special proclamation highlighting her accomplishments.

A volunteer for more than 10 years, Ms. Bingham has been a JA Volunteer of the Year, received the 2007 Presidential Service Award, and was invited by President Bush to attend his Remarks on Volunteering on the White House lawn in September 2008.

“Based on my passion for the Junior Achievement organization and working with young children, I will continue to do all I can to volunteer for as many

teachers and students as possible.” -Suzanne Bingham,

in regards to teaching 100 JA classes

“JA volunteers provide children with special community hands-on collaborative lessons: an approach to learning in which children thrive!”

Pam Wright Pam Wright Pam Wright Pam Wright never answered “travel agent” when she was asked as a child what she wanted to be when she grew up. But the CEO, owner and founder of Nashville’s Wright Travel clearly found her passion in helping individuals and companies book

flights, business trips, and vacations. Now she is dedicated to

helping students find their passions.

On behalf of Wright Travel, Pam made a commitment to fund

high school-level programming for Junior Achievement of Middle

Tennessee. The $75,000 contribution will underwrite these

programs for the next three years.

“As a corporate citizen of Middle Tennessee, I believe Wright

Travel has a responsibility to participate in programs like this

and support organizations that work to improve the educational

experience for high school students,” she said. “Programs like

JA need support from local companies and citizens, or they can’t

be successful in

fulfilling their

valuable mission.”

After making this commitment, Pam wanted to experience first-hand the

impact JA makes on Middle Tennessee’s students. In May 2009, Pam shared her

entrepreneurial experiences with Nashville students in a Hillwood High School AVID

class, a program designed for first-generation, college-potential students who

sometimes need extra encouragement to achieve their dreams.

The story about Wright Travel’s donation and Pam’s participation in Junior

Achievement appeared in the Nashville Business Journal and The Tennessean.

Community support Community support Community support Community support and a strong Board of Directors make Junior Achievement one of the premiere organizations in the Nashville community. The students in Middle Tennessee could not receive the programming that JA volunteers so graciously provide without an outpouring of support that comes from our constituents. JA’s Board is a diverse group of men and women who are involved in many different organizations and efforts in the area. From FrankTown to Girl Scouts of America, or W.O. Smith to CABLE, JA Board Members are some of the busiest and most dedicated business leaders in Nashville. I am proud to be a part of this group of leaders, all of whom are united by one goal: to provide the JA programs that will prepare students for today’s workforce.

Special Events Special Events Special Events Special Events are an exciting part of Junior Achievement’s fundraising efforts. Three diverse events were held during the financial year to raise money and community awareness for

JA’s programming.

On December 9, 2008, Board Members and community supporters invited more than 360

people to learn about JA’s mission at the Inspire and Admire

Breakfast, presented by Caterpillar Financial. Guests heard from students, a teacher, a

volunteer, and a Board Member about the important role that Junior Achievement plays in the

community. $50,000 was raised to support JA in the 18 counties it serves.

Middle Tennessee was taken over by pirates as 1,500 bowlers from 40 companies joined

together to raise money during “Bowling on the High Seas,” the Bridgestone Americas Trust

Fund Music City Bowl-a-Thon. Individual fundraisers reached out to family members, friends,

and colleagues to support JA. More than $200,000 was raised for JA programming; bowlers

celebrated their efforts with a great day of costumes, prizes, jokes, and fun at the bowling alley.

The Franklin American Mortgage Golf Classic was held on June 11 & 12, 2009, at

Gaylord Springs Golf Links. Hit a High Note for JA, complete with silent and live

auctions, dinner, and entertainment, allowed for networking and additional fundraising

the evening before the tournament. Playing in two rounds the next day, 205 golfers hit

the links and enjoyed a great day on the golf course, receiving golfer gifts and earning

awards for their talents. More than $300,000 was raised for JA programs through this

premiere event.
