Some walk with purpose, while others begrudgingly head to class. As the school's College and Career Technician, I can confidently say that our annual Career Day is an event that truly makes a difference here on campus. \r\nCareer Day ignites inspiration and motivation, encouraging students to strive for those good test scores they've worked hard for. It gives them direction and hope for their futures-showing them that they can be more than what they might have imagined. Whether they meet a doctor or a graphic designer who inspires them, this day connects them with industries they never knew existed and opens doors to possibilities they hadn't considered before. Thanks to your generous donation, we'll be able to advertise the event through posters and signs. We will also use a portion of your donation to provide raffle prizes for students who actively engage with all the career professionals tabling at Career Day!
