Smithville Elementary held it annual Careers on Wheels event on April 25. This is an outdoor career fair and participants had careers that involved vehicles. This allowed the students to view and experience hands-on items and vehicles related to many different types of jobs. Participants spoke to all of the students about their jobs, their daily duties, and the training needed for their careers. Students also got to touch and hold many things which made this a fun and hands-on learning experience!
