MACON, Ga., Jan. 30 // -- This week, 24 GEICO associates are
taking on teaching assignments at Burdell-Hunt Magnet School to assist the
Junior Achievement of Georgia Whole School Program. They will teach classes
focused on the importance of business, economics and free enterprise to
almost 400 students, kindergarten through fifth grade.
Each grade level will focus on age-appropriate studies: younger
students will learn about workers and consumers, and older students will
learn how to start a business in the United States free-enterprise system.
GEICO associates will also share their own experiences with the students to
bring home the idea that everyone has a role to play in a successful
economy.
"We are extremely excited to partner with GEICO again this year to
teach the economics of life to the students at Burdell-Hunt," said Michelle
Nelson- Hawkins, executive director of JA of Georgia-West Central District.
"The commitment of the GEICO associates is a testament to their belief in
making a difference in the lives of these students."
John Izzo, regional vice president of GEICOs Macon office, added, "At
GEICO, one of our operating principles is to invest for total return. We
look at our involvement in Junior Achievement as a long term investment in
our youth. We are happy to provide the students with our time and resources
to help them develop integrity, leadership and a great work ethic which
pays off for them as well as society later on."
