Career Day
CAREER DAY AT PINEBROOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
                                                                                               
Mark your calendar for CAREER DAY at Pinebrook Elementary School on Friday, April 27th, 2018!
We are currently looking for volunteers to help make this year’s Career Day a success.
Would you be willing to return to Pinebrook again this year and share your unique occupation with our students? If so, complete this form and return it to school by Friday, April 9th.
As a reminder, our Career Day starts with a volunteer coffee and networking opportunity at 8:00 am.  Each career volunteer will have the opportunity to visit with grades K-5 to speak about their occupation in four sessions of 25 minutes each. A question and answer period will be included.
In the past, speakers have:
  • Planned an activity or demonstration using tools and materials with which they usually work
  • Brought slides, pictures or brochures that provide career information
  • Discussed the educational requirements and skills needed for their job
  • Related what they enjoy about their job
  • Provided take-home goodies or trinkets which relate to their job (no food please)


Your business name will once again be included in a Career Day flyer on our Volunteer Thank You page which will be sent home with each of our apx 1,000 students.
Please contact School Counselors Heather Ross or Jennifer Nocito at Pinebrook with any questions: Heather.Ross@lcps.orgJennifer.Nocito@lcps.org or 703-957-4325.
