Windows to the Workplace

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

On September 23 and 25, there were two people who came to Springville Junior High School to give information about their career and what it takes to do their job.  They were part of the Windows to the Workplace series presented by the counseling office.

Lisa King, a pet groomer at Petsmart in Orem, came to SJHS on September 23 for Windows to the Workplace.  Mrs. Distefano, a counselor at SJHS, said, “She did really good  and she was really entertaining.  She also talked about what pet groomers do for their education and their salary.”  According to Mrs.Distefano her favorite part was that Ms.King kept the kids entertained.               

Brodie Berg, a firefighter in Salt Lake, came to SJHS on September 25 for Windows to the Workplace.  Tanii Foster, an eighth grader at SJHS, and Chase Ewell, a ninth grade student at SJHS, both said, “It went well as he talked and as he asked questions. He talked about how to prepare, education, what firefighters do, how long they work, career and salary.”  

Tanii said, “My favorite part was when he showed his equipment.”  

Chase said, “My favorite part was when he told everyone they actually get cats out of trees alot.”

In Windows to the Workplace there are lots of people with different careers who come to SJHS to talk to the school about their job.  The counselors do a lot to put this together for us.
