Junior Achievement at Cleveland on Wednesday, December 5.
Several volunteers from 3M participated in this event.
Junior Achievement uses hands-on experiences
to help young people understand the economics of life. In
partnership with business and educators, Junior Achievement brings
the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.
Junior Achievement has several highly
effective programs for middle grades students that reinforce
the value of workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and
financial literacy. Students are introduced to many economic
concepts and useful facts about the working world.

Volunteers and partners band together to give
Cleveland Junior
High School a
facelift.
| Up to 75 volunteers
from Hands On Twin Cities, 3M and the community will descend on
Cleveland Junior High School, tools in hand, to help with landscaping,
refurbishing of the playground and the painting of a mural. The
painting will depict the school and community’s many cultures and will signify that when people walk through the school’s doors, they join the Cleveland Junior High School
family |
The event will
culminate in the school’s Open House celebration.
The work is part of
the September / October Corporate Month of Service,
a national
initiative to increase community impact through corporate
leadership in
volunteerism and community involvement. The volunteers want
to show
that the pride that the community, students and staff members have in
their school will translate into a beautified, vibrant
exterior.
