🎉 Career Day at Pomerado is January 14! 🚀
Got a cool career to share with our students? Join us! 🤩 Career Day is a special event at Pomerado to showcase all the amazing jobs in our community. We are looking for parents and/or volunteers to come and share their careers with our students. 👨⚖️👩⚕️🧑💻 Each "career" will host a table in the MPR and classes rotate for brief, inspiring visits throughout the day. The event runs from about 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM, and the more careers we have to share, the better! 📈
If you're interested in sharing your career, please complete the Interest Form here (no commitment - even if you're just considering!). We need your help to get broad representation from many exciting fields! 🌍
🌟For those of you that have signed up for career day, thank you so much! We are thrilled to have you share your professional journey and insights with our students. ✨
