3rd Grade Career Day
Our 3rd graders took part in Davidson's Career Day on Wednesday, October 3rd, and were presented with valuable career information from some of our very own third grade parents. Students were able to hear from an FBI agent, engineers, a T.V. producer, a dietitian, and many more. We even had special appearances from Dr. Hindt (our district superintendent) and our very own Mrs. Miller! The students had a fun and engaging day, sparking many interesting conversations and inspiring them to focus on their goals for their future. Thank you to those of you who volunteered your time to talk to our students.
