“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Students hear this question quite often. 

Central Elementary Counselor Jenna Dompa hoped she could help students spark an interest in a profession by putting together the school’s annual Career Day Fair Thursday morning. 

Students had the opportunity to explore different career paths as they rotated through 35 different vocation booths.  At each station students were able to ask questions, see demonstrations and determine their level of interest in the occupation.

A deputy sheriff, railroad conductor, disc jockey, TV news anchor, prison warden, realtor and photographer along with many other professions were represented.
