No Cold Feet for Ballet Dancers: Norwegian Students Win FedEx Global Access Award

Though my aunt danced with the Washington Ballet and while I am a huge fan of the television show "So You Think You Can Dance" I myself have two left feet (can't dance!). That said, I still marvel at the ingenuity of the team of students from Norway that created an innovative pointe shoe for ballet dancers uniquely designed to keep dancers' feet warm and help prevent injuries.

Succeeding in the Global Economy

Students from around the U.S. and Canada are gathering in Boston this weekend for the first Junior Achievement North American Company of the Year Competition. Twenty JA student "Companies" are presenting their business enterprise before a panel of judges, vying for the highly contested title of North American Student Company of the Year. FedEx is sponsoring the JA Competition because it teaches students around the world valuable business skills, free enterprise, and how they can succeed in a global economy.
