Helping young students connect classroom learning to the real world starts early—and it’s exactly what Junior Achievement of Central Texas aims to do through hands-on programs in financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship. That mission is elevated each year through our longtime partnership with Frost Bank, whose commitment to education and community impact continues to shine.

This year, Frost Bank once again supported an entire school day of JA programming—bringing our engaging, grade-level lessons to every classroom at Oak Springs Elementary. From kindergartners exploring how families and communities work together, to fifth graders learning about entrepreneurship and business basics, students experienced a full day designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and a sense of possibility.

This annual tradition has become more than just a day on the calendar. It’s a powerful example of how corporate partnerships can directly shape the future by investing in students today. With Frost volunteers leading sessions and mentoring students, the impact goes beyond curriculum—these students see role models who reinforce the message: "You can dream big, and here’s how to get there."

“Frost Bank’s partnership makes it possible for us to reach every student in the building,” said Suzannah Gravatt, Junior Achievement’s District Director. “Their volunteers bring energy and real-world experience into the classroom, making the lessons come alive in ways that truly resonate with students.”

We are proud to celebrate this ongoing partnership with Frost Bank. Their dedication to community and education is helping to plant seeds of opportunity, one classroom at a time.

Thank you, Frost Bank, for believing in the power of JA and in the potential of every child.
