Career Day 2010-Community Day Charter Public School

CDCPS held it's 2nd Annual Career Day on Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 for 5th through 8th grade students. Throughout the day, each child had the opportunity to explore a variety of different careers as they met and learned from local professionals in their areas of interest. This was a wonderful chance for students to gain knowledge about different career fields, learn more about how education plays an important role in future professions, and help them develop their interpersonal skills. Career presenters included an attorney, police officer, nurse, and firefighter as well as an architect, jewelry designer, chef, software designer and many others. Our special speaker of the day was Mayor Lantigua who encouraged our students to strive for their dreams and take pride in their city. Our students enjoyed this event and as eighth grade student, Keeana Abreu stated, "Career day this year went very well for me. I had my questions answered and it has opened up new doors for me – I have now found interest in fields I never thought about before."
