What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

By Susie Rogers, ELA, 5th-8th

Research doesn’t have to be boring, especially when you have a really interesting topic! My 7th and 8th grade classes held a Career Fair after taking an aptitude test, exploring the pros and cons of recommended fields, and researching a potential future career. They were required to include the education level needed, job growth forecast, average salary, skills needed, work environment, and a typical day. They also had to interview someone in that particular career. For the presentation day, the students dressed in career attire and enlightened visiting students, parents, and staff all the details of their chosen career. Enjoy the pictures from our future teachers, novelist, game warden, athletic trainer, architect, astrophysicist, business intelligence analyst, chemical plant technical director, and vet tech.
