DeKalb Middle School will be hosting Career Day on Tuesday, May 6. This special event is designed for students in grades 6 through 8 and aims to inspire them as they explore a variety of potential career paths.
The event will be held both inside and outside of the gymnasium to accommodate a variety of displays and activities. Participants may begin setting up their displays at 7:30 a.m. and students will start visiting booths at 9 a.m. The event is scheduled to conclude around 11:00 a.m. Please note they have a limited number of tables available for use. If possible, they ask participants to bring their own table for their booth to ensure everyone has the space they need.
At the conclusion of the event, they would like to schedule guest speakers to visit 8th grade classroom. They are seeking six participants to share more in-depth information about their careers and personal journeys with the 8th grade students. If you are interested in being a guest speaker, please contact Mrs. Suzette Barnes at suzettebarnes@dekalbschools.net
Career Day will provide an invaluable opportunity for students to interact with professionals from a wide range of industries. Your involvement would make a significant impact on the students’ understanding of real-world opportunities and the journey toward achieving their goals.
