Career Day~Friday, May 26
This Friday is Career Day at Caraway. Thank you in advance to the volunteers who speak with our students about their career path.
FYI- The Fire Department and the SWAT team with be at our campus all morning to share with our students career options in community service. We wanted to give you warning so that you will know that they are here for a visit, and not on official business. You might hear the fire engine siren on occasion. Thank you as well to the men and women of the SWAT team and the Austin Fire Department who volunteer their time to talk with our students.
