Thursday, April 2 Practices

MS softball - 2:30-4:00 pm and MS baseball - 4:00-5:30 pm at the high school gym.

We are excited to share that all middle and high school students will be participating in a career exploration day on April 22 here at school.This full-day event is designed to help students explore a wide range of career pathways and better understand the many opportunities available to them after high school.

Throughout the day, students will take part in a series of engaging sessions and workshops, similar to a conference experience. We are fortunate to welcome more than sixty local businesses and organizations who have volunteered their time to speak with students, share their career journeys, and provide real-world insight into different industries. In addition, representatives from a variety of colleges will be present, along with resources aimed at helping students prepare for future success.

The day will also include an opportunities fair in the gym, set up much like a job fair. During this time, students will have the chance to:

·  Connect with professionals from a variety of fields
·  Learn about organizations that offer support and resources
·  Discover volunteer opportunities
·  (For older students) Explore part-time and future full-time employment possibilities

This event is a valuable opportunity for students to expand their horizons, ask questions, and begin thinking more intentionally about their futures. There will be interactive activities throughout the day, and prizes—generously donated by participating organizations—will be awarded.

Students will complete a brief survey about career interests and future plans next week so we can do our best to match them with sessions that fit their goals. 

We ask for your support in encouraging your student to attend, engage fully, and take advantage of everything this day has to offer. Experiences like this can play an important role in helping students build confidence and make informed decisions about their next steps.

Thank you for your support!
