2011-2012 Annual Report
Empowering young people to
own their economic success
Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee serves a vital role in our
community and I am pleased that you are taking a moment to get a
glimpse of the organization by reading our 2011-2012 Annual Report.
We had a successful year, reaching 30,445 students in 18 counties.
Everyone across the organization and the community worked together
to ensure our students were empowered to own their economic
success.
By focusing on education, economics, and youth development, JA
programs contribute to the vitality of our community and the
availability of a well-educated workforce. Our supporters are helping
students develop the competence, confidence, and character needed
to compete in today’s busy world. Join us in our mission to inspire
and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.
In the following pages, you will learn about JA through the eyes of students, board members,
teachers, volunteers, and financial supporters. Without the teamwork that they demonstrate, JA
could not function nor be successful. I thank all of them and I thank you for taking time to learn
more about Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee. Together, we will help our young people
succeed, achieve, and fulfill their dreams.

Impact during the
2011-2012 School Year:
At Junior Achievement, we give young people the
knowledge and skills they need to own their
economic success, plan for their future, and make
smart academic and economic choices.
Our corporate and community volunteers
deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give
students from kindergarten through high school
knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work
readiness and entrepreneurship.
JA programs empower students to make a
connection between what they learn in school
and how it can be applied in the real world enhancing the relevance of their classroom
learning and increasing their understanding of
the value of staying in school.

JA BizTown - 5th grade Entrepreneurs Succeed
JA BizTown students work hard to ensure
that their businesses can make a profit.
Cole Crider, student at Oak Hill School,
shares about his JA BizTown experience as well as another valuable lesson:
networking.
What job did you have in JA BizTown?
C.F.O. of the bank
What was your favorite part of your job?
Why? Answering someone's question
about their account. I enjoyed that
because it felt good to know I was helping
them manage their money so they could
purchase the items they wanted at
BizTown.
What was your least favorite part of your job? Why? Taking care of all the paperwork. It was easy to
get caught up in the paperwork and end up in a hole that it took our whole team to dig out of.
What was the most challenging part of your job?
We had rush times at the beginning of each break period when everyone wanted to deposit or withdraw
money at the same time.
What is the most important thing you learned in JA BizTown?
Your business is one big team. If one person has a problem, the entire business has to pitch in and help.
In the spring of 2012, just as Cole was preparing for his visit to JA BizTown, he had an unlikely but rewarding
networking experience with Hal Pennington, Retired Chairman, President, & CEO of Genesco and 2011 Nashville
Business Hall of Fame inductee. The two were seated next to each other on an airplane and chatted about
business and JA BizTown throughout the flight. Only later did Cole realize who he was speaking to; Mr.
Pennington had called the JA staff to let them know about his conversation with Cole and his upcoming JA
BizTown experience.
Cole got a visit from JA’s President during his day working in the JA BizTown Bank, who told Cole about Mr.
Pennington and the impression that he had made.
“
I hope that I can be a great
business man and also a
great community supporter
someday, like Mr. Pennington.
”
- Cole Crider

Hall of Fame in the events section of this report.
“
JA BizTown is the connection
between real life and what
students do in school. Students
with little understanding of the
business world say, ‘this is
something I could do, this is
something I like.’
”
- Denise Goodwin,
Asst. Superintendent, Elementary Schools,
Williamson County Schools

and succeed in the program.
JA BizTown is a miniature city housed within the
JA office. Fifth grade students undergo six weeks
of classroom lessons to prepare for the
experience and then spend a day running their
own town. Volunteers and teachers help facilitate
the day, but students are truly in charge and take
full responsibility for their businesses and their
personal finances. 7,881 students participated in
the JA BizTown program this school year.
JA BizTown students learn by doing. The
hands-on activities that they experience show
students the connection between classroom
learning and the real-world. Interviewing for jobs,
balancing a checkbook, and being a responsible
worker and consumer are just a few of the vital
life-lessons that students learn in JA BizTown.
Students are tested to measure their knowledge
gain during the program. The first graph below
shows that students increased their scores from
pre- to post- test by an average of 23%. The
second graph below shows that students
increased their scores from pre- to
post- test by an average of 46% on practical
concepts such as writing a check, filling out a
check register, and completing a deposit ticket.

JA in a Day
Throughout each school year,
volunteers participate in an
event that reaches hundreds of
students in one day with a full
JA program. The effort makes a
strong impact in the lives of the
students, teachers, and
volunteers.

Job Shadow: Showing High School Students the Real Working World
On September 16, 2011,
64 Ernst & Young
employees met at Oliver
Middle School in
Davidson County to
volunteer for JA. Every
student in the school,
nearly 800 of them,
experienced a full JA program that day. Thanks to the tireless efforts
of these dedicated business people, students were shown the
importance of education and the tools that they need for success.
In partnership with Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, more than 1,000 students participated in
the Job Shadow program during the 2011-2012 school year. Sixty-four companies hosted students,
representing various professions and careers in Nashville. The Academies of Nashville worked with
their business partners to ensure that their students experienced a day in a real-world work
environment.
Nearly 25 students had a very special Job Shadow opportunity on January 25, 2012. Tennessee legislators joined with Junior
Achievement and AT&T to help Hillwood High School students make the connection between success in the classroom and in
the workplace. Students spent the day shadowing the legislators, touring the House and Senate chambers, learning about the
legislative process and understanding the dangers of texting while driving.
“Education is the single most important factor to ensure that the students in today’s classroom will have the skills they need to
be successful in the workforce,” said Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey. “I’m pleased to see so many bright and talented
students visiting the Tennessee State Capitol today and learning about the legislative process. I hope their experiences here will
inspire them to do great things when they graduate.”
“These students are the building blocks for
our state’s future success,” said Gregg
Morton, President of AT&T Tennessee. “Job
Shadowing helps students to see new
possibilities and to challenge themselves to
achieve their full potential. At AT&T, we
want them to succeed, and we are proud to
sponsor initiatives like the Job Shadow
program to ensure they graduate and go on
to do great things.”
Students complete pre-tests
and post-tests to measure
the impact of their JA
program. The chart to the
right reflects the average
pre-and post-test scores for
Our Nation, 5th grade,
students who participated
in Oliver Middle School’s
JA in a Day event.
“
JA in a Day gives our students a chance to
experience real voices from the business community
who lead them in making the connection between
classroom learning and the work place. Seeing young
people working in teams and using their math and
language skills to think creatively and problem solve is
education at its best!
JA TITAN Business Challenge
It may sound and look like a video game, but
the JA TITAN online business simulation is
an in-depth program that culminates in a
student competition each spring. In April of
2012, 21 student teams from eight Middle
Tennessee high schools spent the day at
Caterpillar Financial competing to see who
could make the best business decisions and
be most profitable. Business volunteers
offered their time and expertise to be sure
the students had a successful day learning
how to be an entrepreneur.
”
-Carol Percy, School Counselor
Oliver Middle School, Metro Nashville Public Schools
3-time host of JA in a Day
JA Welcomes Chinese Exchange Students
In January 2012, JA welcomed a group of middle and high
school students from China, led by Li Weaver, Chief
Representative for the Tennessee China Development Center.
The students experienced a week-long emersion into freeenterprise concepts, participating in a JA program as well as
business learning at Belmont University and various companies in
Nashville. The students left with a better understanding of the
American tradition of entrepreneurship and success.

business leader who was committed to bettering the Nashville community,
especially through supporting youth and education. This year, JA was
informed that Mr. Zelle left a significant legacy gift
to JA’s Endowment Fund through the Community
Foundation of Middle Tennessee. His gift will
sustain future operations and ensure that JA’s
programs will be available for many years to come.
He also inspired fellow donors to invest in Junior
Achievement, showing support to the young
individuals who are future business leaders in the
community.

JA classroom programs and their reach:
ServiceSource
When JA began in 1919, its flagship program was an afterschool
initiative in which students created their own companies. Today, the
JA Company Program is back in area high schools. With the help of
dedicated volunteers and teachers, five student-led companies in
Davidson and Williamson County high schools underwent the
process of founding, funding, operating, and liquidating a business.
Habiba Bahy Soliman, VP of Human Resources in the Hillwood High
School Company Program said, “Company Program will develop
your skills in communication and organization. It is absolutely a
great experience!”
During the 14-week, in-depth program, students developed
leadership, communication, and interpersonal and organizational
skills. The program allowed students to see what business is really
like and how their classroom learning is relevant in the real world.
These teenagers applied for positions, conducted department
meetings, raised capital, did market research, created and
implemented a business plan, marketed their products or services,
and created an annual report. At the program's conclusion, students
had the opportunity to present their experience to a panel of
business leaders and receive their feedback.

students Job Shadow opportunities within the company.
Antioch High School Student Keilyn Jones was the president of her
company. She said, “the most valuable thing I learned in the JA
Company Program is that networking helps anyone to get further
in any career they wish to choose.”

what hard workers really look like, so
they can get a visual of where they
would like to be in the future. It has
opened doors of opportunity for some
students.They have made life-long

and the people who run them.”
