CAREER DAY

March 6, 2019

WE NEED LOTS OF VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS!

On March 6, 2019, Towers Elementary will be celebrating the diverse jobs we have in our community by having our annual Career Day.  In the past, Career Day was a great success and the students loved it.  In order to continue to make this day a success, we need your help.  We are looking for individuals who are willing to come and speak to our students about their job and responsibilities in the work force.  Each speaker will be assigned to a classroom for about 20 minutes to share about his or her career.  (Please be advised you may not be assigned to your child’s classroom.)  Each speaker will then rotate to one or two other classrooms.  Our Career Day will begin in the morning with check-in from 8:40 – 8:50 and end at 10:50.
