Harbor Half
Marathon &
Relay 
Join JA on Sunday, October 19th
for the fourth annual Harbor Half Marathon
& Relay presented by Valero. The
Harbor Half benefits JA programs in the
Coastal Bend region and has many unique features
beginning with a footrace across Corpus Christi's
Harbor Bridge. It is the highest half
in Texas and will be guaranteed to challenge even
the most seasoned runners.
Adult runners can choose to participate in
the half marathon or run in the Valero Corporate
Cup Challenge by entering as a team.
Sponsored by H-E-B and scheduled for
Saturday, October 18th, the Kids' Marathon is a
great way to challenge children to participate in
a fitness program that is fun and focused with a
purpose - not to mention beneficial to
the community, their peers, and themselves.
Help JA make this year's Harbor Half
bigger and better than the last, and create a
lasting impact in the Coastal Bend. To find
out more about the Harbor Half Marathon &
Relay, please visit www.harborhalf.com or contact Jayne Woodall at

JA Exploring
Economics
New Program
Introduction
Developed
for high school, JA Exploring
Economics fosters lifelong skills and
knowledge about how an economy works, including
micro-, macro-, personal, and international
economics. By making economics engaging and
relatable, JA Exploring Economics helps
students better understand the impact they have on
the economy as consumers and taxpayers, and
teaches important personal financial lessons
around spending, saving, and investing.
This seven session program, as well as all JA
programs, is designed to support the skills and
competencies identified by the Partnership for
21st Century Skills. JA's programs also
augment school-based, work-based, and connecting
activities for communities with school-to-work
initiatives. | |
