Career Day At Martin Middle School

The Guidance Department at Martin Middle School held their annual Career Day for all eighth grade students on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 from approximately 8:00 am until 9:30 am. The morning began with coffee and pastry in the cafeteria at 7:30 am.

The students were given the opportunity to interact with people from different careers and to understand what qualifications and education are needed to be in that particular profession. Students were able to ask questions about the speaker’s career as well as to look at different props from their jobs. We hope the students left knowing that with education, hard work, and determination they will be able to be successful in whatever career they wish to pursue.

This years guest speakers were: Captain David Rave, Steve, Brian, Tom and Jay all firefighters, Ms. Printer, Hair Essentials; Mr. William Donnelly, photographer; Mr. Reed, Textron Corporation; Ms. Jade Watson and Mr. Andrew Han from Hasbro. We want to thank Mr. Han for donating the two furby’s which were raffled off to the 8th grade students.

We wish to thank our speakers for spending their morning with us as well as Ms. Kimberly Mercer, Superintendent.
