Students in the fifth and sixth grades at Willow Road School were thinking about their future when they participated in the school’s first Career Day. The program was designed to inspire students to explore possible future careers and to learn more about what is needed to be successful in the future.
Several guests participated in Career Day by sharing information about their career choices, the education qualifications needed, as well as experiences they have encountered during their careers. Special thanks to guest presenters Mr. Biju Alexander, registered nurse for psychiatric emergency room; Mrs. Tara DiPalma, account and director budget and expense management; Mr. Luigi LaRocca, restaurant owner/manager; Dr. Shirley Martin, interim assistant superintendent for curriculum, assessment and technology, Mr. Terrence Meaney, retired police officer at Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Mr. Jonathan Pollard, theater producer.
Thank you to the members of the Willow Road Shared Decision Making Team and the fifth- and sixth-grade teachers for making this event so successful.
