2nd Grade Career Day

We had a FANTASTIC Career Day on Friday! We owe a huge thanks to all of our parent and community volunteers who shared a wonderful variety of professions with our students, as well as the TPS parents who connected us with their friends and relatives who were willing to speak. Our volunteers were so generous with their time and effort in preparing their engaging presentations and visiting us at school. We are also very grateful to Walton's- they kindly donated lunches for the firefighters who spent most of the day at TPS. Check out the pictures below to see some of the fun and learning that took place on this special day!

We had our first ever Career Day presentation via webcam with a TPS father stationed overseas with the US military. As you can imagine, it was incredibly touching.





This is Mr. Bill Hewett of Hewett's Honey Farm in Duncanville. You may have seen his honey for sale at the US farmer's market or Manna Grocery. He spoke to us about beekeeping!







The firefighters from Station 7 even ate lunch with our students! What a special treat!


You may recognize Richard Scott, the meteorologist from WVUA!




You may notice the student dressed as a rock star there below the speaker in the picture above. We had many students dress up as careers- see below for a few more examples. They looked GREAT!
