On Wednesday, our 4th and 5th grade Busy Bees had a great time exploring different careers during our Career Fair!

Students had the opportunity to talk with professionals from local businesses, community leaders, public service, and many other fields to learn more about different career paths and start thinking about their futures.

A huge thank you to the 30 community partners and volunteers who took time out of their day to support our students. We are so grateful for a community that invests in our Busy Bees! 💛💚
