Volunteer to share your career with your child’s school!

On Tuesday November 3rd and Wednesday November 4 2009 the 7th Grade students at Meredith Middle School will participate in “The What In The World?” career awareness program sponsored by the Business, Industry, Education Alliance. This program builds on kids’ curiosity by exposing them to a variety of science, math, and technology careers. During the program, volunteers from the business community meet with small groups of students to discuss their jobs. The discussion focuses on a job related “mystery object” stimulating interest and prompting questions. We hope you will join us and share your career.

“Kids come to school as natural scientists, and you turn them off if you
don’t build on their curiosity.” ~Jerome Pine
