Students at Woodward Elementary explored a wide range of future career opportunities during the school’s Career Day held May 20, as community professionals visited classrooms to share their experiences and skills with students. Presenters spoke with students about their career paths including day-to-day responsibilities while also offering demonstrations and a few hands-on activities to teach the students about how they trained for their job, what schooling they needed for their job and how their school rules apply to their work.
