Junior Achievement at St. Boniface

CISE was pleased to partner with Fifth Third Bank to bring Junior Achievement (JA) to students at St. Boniface School. Over five weeks in March and April, 20 incredible Fifth Third Bank volunteers delivered JA lessons to students in grades K–8, providing them with valuable insights in work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.

A special shoutout to Scott Enders, Fifth Third Chief of Staff and proud CISE Board member, who led the charge to bring this opportunity to life.

As the program wrapped up, students were treated to a special visit from Buddy LaRosa, who celebrated their hard work, shared his personal words of wisdom, encouraged them to apply their JA lessons to everyday life, and challenged them to always be their best. To top it all off, the students were thrilled to enjoy free LaRosa’s pizza!

At CISE, we’re always looking for ways to help our students build brighter futures—whether that’s college, careers, or both. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring research-based programs into our schools that develop both academic and real-world skills.

We’re so proud of these students and deeply grateful to our partners for making moments like this possible.
