Dear 8th Grade Families,

As our students prepare for the transition to high school, they are thinking more and more about their future paths. To help spark their imaginations and show them what's possible, we are excited to host an 8th Grade Career Day—and we’d love for you to be a part of it!

We are currently looking for parents and family members of our 8th grade students who would be willing to come in and speak about their professional journeys, daily routines, and industry advice. Whether you work in healthcare, the trades, technology, the arts, business, or anything in between, your real-world experience is incredibly valuable to them.

At this stage, we would like to gather interest. There is no date set for the event, but it will likely take place sometime in May. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this interest form.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly!

Thank you and I look forward to hosting this event for the second year in a row!

Best,

Mrs. Dominguez
