Career Week

Last week, St. Sylvester School held its first ever career week. There were many different activities throughout the week to get students thinking about what they might want to be when they grow up. First, the students each wrote an essay completing the sentence, "When I grow up, I want to be..." There were so many awesome answers and great explanations of why they chose that career. The top three essay prizes went to:
1. Sophia A. - Scientist
2. Ezekiel G. - Farmer
3. Marisol R. - Dentist

All of the students also filled out a foldable with a picture of what they wanted to be along with ideas of what they might need to do in order to enter that profession. These were then hung up in Schwinn Hall for all of the classes to come around and read. You can see the display in the above pictures.
The teachers even got into the spirit by filling out "Teacher Talk" questionnaires about what they wanted to be when they were children and why they became teachers.

On Thursday and Friday, we had several visitors come into our classrooms to tell us all about their jobs. From nuns to firefighters and scientists to graphic designers, we had so may different careers to hear about and ask questions about. The week ended up being a huge success. Ask your son or daughter which presentation was the most interesting to them and what they want to be when they grow up!
