The 5th grade is looking for volunteers to come speak at their Career Fair! Come help build awareness of careers and create opportunities for students to explore different paths. When? Wednesday, November 13 or Wednesday, April 10. Time? 10:45-11:45. Students pick the presentations they want to attend and rotate to different rooms. Presenters would have about 15 minutes for each presentation, and would present the same information to 3 different groups. Please email Mrs. Kruckenberg if you are interested! @ ekruckenberg@cusd50.org Thank you! #JeffersonJourney🐝
