Guerrero Thomson Elementary came alive with energy, curiosity, and possibility during our recent JA Day. Classrooms were filled with bright questions, meaningful conversations, and moments of discovery. This day was made possible not only by our incredible volunteers, but also by the dedicated educators and administrators who warmly welcomed this experience for their students.
We are deeply grateful to the teachers and school leaders at Guerrero Thomson Elementary who opened their classrooms and partnered with us to bring real-world learning to life. Your commitment to creating opportunities beyond the traditional classroom makes a lasting difference. By embracing programs like JA Day, you help ensure students can connect what they learn today to who they can become tomorrow.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the professionals who stepped away from their busy schedules to spend time with students, sharing their experiences, encouragement, and enthusiasm. You showed up not just as volunteers, but as mentors, role models, and champions for the next generation.
A very special thank you to Katherine Stadler from the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation for joining us to see JA in action, cheering on Dell Technologies volunteers and sharing opportunities for the Dell-backed Investment Accounts.

Each volunteer helped turn everyday lessons into powerful inspiration by connecting classroom concepts to real-life opportunities. You sparked conversations about financial literacy, future careers, and the importance of setting goals. For many students, this was more than a lesson. It was a moment that expanded what they believe is possible.
💬 Making a Lasting Difference
Together, educators and volunteers created an environment where students felt encouraged to ask questions, think boldly, and imagine their futures. Through hands-on activities and genuine conversations, students built confidence, strengthened critical thinking skills, and saw firsthand how education connects to the world beyond school.
❤️ Thank You for Investing in Students
To the educators and administrators who made space for this experience, and to the volunteers who brought it to life, thank you. This kind of partnership shows students that an entire community believes in them and is invested in their success.
A special thank you to Wells Fargo Bank for being not only an investment partner, but for showing up with such a kind, thoughtful group of volunteers who made a meaningful impact in the classroom.
Because of you, JA Day was not just an event. It was a shared experience rooted in collaboration, inspiration, and opportunity. As one volunteer shared, “Sharing experiences with the children and noticing their excitement to learn and connect with us.” That spirit was felt in every classroom.
We look forward to continuing this important work together and are grateful for the collective impact we can make for students.
