Duncan Elementary students look to the future

Recently, the sixth graders at Duncan Elementary participated in their school’s second annual Career Day.

This special event brought in members of the community to share their work-world expertise with the students. Careers in graphic design, dentistry, marketing and more were represented.

Each sixth grader was able to choose three sessions from the list of nearly 50 volunteers who shared not only their careers, but also the path that lead them to their work.

With the Duncan sixth graders now officially halfway through their K-12 education, this event, coupled with the recent Career Focus luncheon, will certainly play a role in shaping the future of these young Explorers.

As a followup, each student designed and wrote a personalized postcard thanking the volunteer who hosted them at each session.

The messages, along with a special treat, were a nice surprise for the helpful individuals who took time to share inspirational success stories and career advice with the youngsters.
