We'd like to give a special shout out to our very own Patrick Culligan who recently completed his 21st year as a volunteer teacher for Junior Achievement of Northeastern New York. He taught a business class to Amy Ferrone’s 2nd grade class at Mechanicville Elementary School for 5 weeks for 1 hour per week. Junior Achievement is dedicated to educating students about issues relating to work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through the use of experiential, hands-on programs. In partnership with the business and education communities, and through the support of community volunteers, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential. Pat would like to thank Amy and the Mechanicville Elementary School for the opportunity to help educate the class. 

Go Pat!
