PRE PTO is so lucky to have the support of our Shawnee business community!
On Monday we were able to welcome back our teachers with pastries, coffee and reusable coffee mugs all donated from Starbucks - Shawnee Mission & Monticello. If you stop by Starbucks please say thank you to the manager Jonathan for making this possible.
The teachers will also receive coupons from McDonald's of Western Shawnee for 2 free sandwiches curtesy of Patrick Manning and The Dobski Family Partnership.
When Does First Semester End?
PRE Career Awareness Day
We are excited to have our second annual Career Awareness Day! This will be the morning of February 24, 2021. Due to guest restrictions this year, I am asking any parents or community members to submit a video telling about their career. Please aim for a 5-8 minute video. The easiest way to submit the video is through a YouTube link. Please know that we will appreciate any video footage where the career is highlighted…it does not need to be a professional video!
During your video presentation, there are some points that I hope you can address. They are:
- Your relationship to PRE—parent, former parent, community member, etc.
- Training or schooling needed to do your job
- Subjects that you should have an interest in and are good at in order to do your job
- Any tools that you use on a daily basis, and please highlight these in your video if you can!
- What a day on the job might look like
Teachers will be able to work with their class to decide which videos to watch during the morning of February 24. We would also like to have a Zoom session for students to ask specific questions on this day. If you are interested in participating in this portion, please note it on the form below.
I am asking that all videos submitted by February 12. You can email your video to: kfulcher@usd232.org
Thank you for considering being part of the PRE Career Awareness Day!
