Saint Michael School

Career Week

March 7-11

Saint Michael School Career Week offered an opportunity for students to become connected with their community and also enabled them to explore their professional options for the future.  Students from pre-k up to 8th grade heard presentations from community workers as well as Saint Michael School alumni.  Students  heard about the speakers’ professions and stories about the road to their profession, learning that the road to their goal may take hard work and dedication.  The focus of the week was for students to live out their dreams and to never give up on their goals!
