Bring more JA to your school. Make a bigger impact. Win!
The JABC School Appreciation Campaign recognizes and celebrates B.C. schools for bringing JA learning experiences to their students.
Complete 10 JA programs at your school for a chance to win one of two $500 Staples gift cards for school-wide use—one for an elementary school and one for a high school.
How It Works
Educators enrol their classes in JA programs, which are counted toward their school’s total.
Programs must be delivered between September 8, 2026 and May 14, 2027.
All JA programs are eligible and contribute to the total.
Schools can start at any time during this period.
Program totals are calculated by school, not by individual educator.
Schools receive one (1) contest entry for every ten (10) JA programs delivered.
The more programs delivered, the more entries your school earns.
The Prize
Two (2) B.C. schools will each receive:
One (1) $500 Staples gift card (for school-wide use)
One prize will be awarded to an elementary school and one to a high school.
Check Your Status
Program totals are tracked internally by JABC through our CRM system. To check your school’s current status or for any questions, please contact Eranjit Sodhi.
Why Participate?
Every JA program creates an opportunity for young people to build skills, confidence and new possibilities.
The JABC School Appreciation Campaign is our way of recognizing schools that make JA part of their students’ learning experiences. Whether you’re bringing JA to your school for the first time or have been a long-time partner, every program counts toward your school’s impact.
Winners
The winning elementary school and high school will be announced on May 19, 2027 on the JABC website and social media platforms.
