Shell Volunteers Make a Difference at Capdau Charter
Volunteers from Shell Exploration & Production participated in a JA
Day for grades K-4 at the Capital One/University of New Orleans
Pierre Capdau Charter School. During the JA Day, students
received all five of the elementary grade JA sessions in one day
rather than the more common one session a week for five weeks
delivery method. Kindergarten students learned to identify
money and learned that money must respected by earning it fairly,
spending it wisely, and saving it for bigger needs/wants later in
life. Fourth grade students learned how businesses acquire and
use resources and how managers must calculate and record their
income and expenses in order to make a profit and run a successful
company.
