8th Grade Hosts Job Fair

Following their unit on working conditions in the early 1900s, 8th graders held their annual Job Fair. Students started the assignment by corresponding via email with a professional in a chosen field. From there, students conducted Google Meet interviews to learn more about the intricacies of the career, then completed their own research on typical salaries, education requirements, benefits, and more. Students created job brochures for their chosen professions, which included firefighter, professional soccer player, Director of Marketing and Communications, restaurant owner, architect, veterinarian, sports doctor, real estate agent, investment banker, college coach, and many more. Ultimately, students welcomed the 7th grade (as well as some of the professionals themselves) and spoke about the career and answered questions surrounding it.
