North Berwick Pratt & Whitney employee Maggie Moody, standing in back at left, joins teacher Patrice Abbott, standing at the right, and her second-grade students at North Berwick Elementary School during a full-day of hands-on activity using curriculum developed by Junior Achievement. For nearly 20 years, Moody has volunteered her time as a teacher to the Junior Achievement program in the North Berwick elementary school system. Junior Achievement is dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. JA provides students at every grade level a program by which they can begin to understand these concepts and work with them in and around their communities. Moody has taught several sessions for second- and third-graders, and often teaches both fall and spring sessions to ensure she includes everyone who requests a JA program for their classroom. In addition, Pratt & Whitney North Berwick is a financial supporter of the JA program in the SAD 60 school system, which includes Berwick, North Berwick and Lebanon. A donation of $10,000 a year for the last two years has been provided to SAD 60 to support the expansion of the JA program within this school district, providing more classes at every grade level, according to the company.
