Last Friday, Grainwood students and staff participated in JA in a Day. JA, or Junior Achievement, empowers young people to own their
economic success. This volunteer-delivered, K-12 program "fosters
work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, and uses
experiential learning to inspire kids to dream big and reach their
potential." Educators and students from the Minnesota School of Business
in Shakopee and Lakeville joined us most of the day in classrooms teaching
Grainwood students. Each grade level received approximately five lessons related
to economics, communities, business or other social studies standards
appropriate to the grade level. This is the second year of our partnership with the Minnesota School of Business. Make sure to ask your child about
their guest teachers last week!
