LIGON Needs You for Career Day

As you know, Ligon is now a Magnet Middle School that serves 6th - 8th graders. Career Day is Fri., March 16th, 2012, 7:15 AM - 11:45 AM; a complimentary lunch for volunteers follows at noon. Can you volunteer to share with these middle schoolers your profession or career? Students and their teachers will rotate at scheduled times (roughly 20 minutes each) to your presentation about your work, your profession, your career. Students learn from the 'tools of your profession' - hands-on items, visuals, novelty give-aways, uniforms, samples, examples. :) Even though staying the entire morning is preferred, if you can only share for 2 hours that would be helpful. All professions are needed - para professionals, skilled trade professionals, business owners, researchers, manufacturers, health, legal, fine & performing arts professionals, retailers, sales associates/executives, caterers, pre-school professionals, etc.

85 persons are needed to provide a full morning of experiences for Ligon students. I think that Ligon alumni can provide at least 50% of this need. :) Share this message with others who can share their careers and inspire these middle school students to pursue their dreams.
