Achievement is particularly excited about our new partnership with
ACE. When a company provides significant financial support -- and
significant volunteer support, all of the parts come together to
change children's lives," said Linda Schoelkopf, President of
Junior Achievement of Dallas, Inc. Approximately 40 volunteers from
ACE Cash Express recently visited Townsell Elementary School in
Irving, Texas to teach JA's economic and financial literacy
curricula. These volunteers shared their experiences, while
teaching the Junior Achievement program to the youngest students --
kindergarten through second grade. "We are pleased to partner with
Junior Achievement and contribute to the educational programs that
they support," said Jay Shipowitz, President and CEO of ACE Cash
Express. "Financial literacy is a vital part of childhood
education, and communicating this message to local students is
important to ACE." About ACE Cash Express ACE Cash Express, Inc. is
