Curiosity is the spark that lights the way to future possibilities. Students were invited to imagine the many directions their paths might take during Career Day – an event that reminds us that a career is not just a destination, but a journey shaped by experiences, interests and the people we meet along the way. 

Thanks to Nurse Dana’s thoughtful planning and coordination, students and staff met a diverse group of professionals, each of whom dedicated their work to helping others. From police officers and firefighters to doctors, dentists, optometrists, masons, engineers and therapy dog handlers, our guests shared stories about their work and how they found their way to chosen fields. 

Six graders also interviewed the visiting professionals and will be transforming those conversations into feature articles for the school newspaper. 

These real-world conversations opened students’ eyes to the value of education, hands-on learning and staying open to new experiences. Career Day also sparked questions, inspired new dreams and helped students see how their own interests might connect to future possibilities.
