Career Fair Thursday, February 23rd, 9-11:30am
The Counseling Department is excited to announce that the Career Fair is coming soon on Thursday, February 23rd, from 9-11:30am! The Career Fair is an exciting time for your child to hear about different opportunities in the world of work from people in our community! Even though your child's career path won't start for quite some time, elementary school is a time when children can be exposed to the different types of careers and additionally they can see how developing good school habits are similar to the habits needed in the career world. In the coming weeks, it would be a great time to talk with your child about what they might want to be when they grow up and maybe share with them how you began your journey to the career you are currently in! Thank you for being part of your child's education, dreams & goals! |
