5th grade is so excited to have parents coming to speak about their careers on October 4! 5th grade students will be able to choose three different presentations to hear about careers they are interested in or want to learn more about. We are very grateful to the people that are taking time out of their day to present. Students are not just learning about careers, but the path taken, the skills needed, the impact on our community, and opportunities presented.
