Junior Achievement of North- eastern Pennsylvania is a non- profit organization that connects schools with the business com- munity to “give children a com- petitive edge on life.” For more than 30 years JA has introduced experienced professionals into the classroom to serve as volunteer role models who help students understand business concepts and thinking skills. Ray Boyle of Harveys Lake is one such person. He has worked with the sixth grade at Lake-Noxen Elementary every spring for three years. Boyle, the director for com- munity relations and development for Mercy Health Partners, first got involved with JA by becoming amember of its board of directors. “I have a high regard for busi- ness and school partnerships,” explained Boyle, who no longer COOK'S PHARMACY, e Computerized lary of economics and explains how nations are interdependent.
