Opportunities for Kindness

Speakers Needed! Reading Elementary School Career Day March 23

On March 24, Reading Elementary will be hosting  a Career Exploration Day event from 8:15 to 2:30. At this event kindergarten-6 grade students will have the opportunity to hear from different guest speakers in the community and learn about a variety of career pathways. Career Exploration Day will provide a fantastic opportunity for our students to learn about various professions and discover a wide array of possibilities that await them in their future. 
 
We are seeking volunteers who are willing to share their professional experience and expertise with our students. Participation in this event can make a significant impact on our students' understanding of some of the opportunities available to them upon their eventual graduation from Reading! 
 
The goal of this event is to create a hands-on experience to expose our students to different career opportunities. Guest speakers will have a table in the gym to present hands-on demonstrations/lessons to teach students about what they do. Students will rotate through different speakers in the gym and will be spending approximately 5 minutes at each station, so quick and powerpoint free lessons are requested.

1. Sign Up: If you are interested in being a presenter, please fill out the Google Form linked HERE. There will be an opportunity for you to select a partial day spot or a full day spot on this form. 
 
2. Spread the word: If you have any friends, family, or colleagues who may be interested in helping us with this event, please forward them this email and have them complete the Google Form linked HERE.
