Rogers Recap: Career Day!

Rogers welcomed 29 speakers to Mustang Park on Tuesday, May 23 for Career Day! Students were matched with three speakers based on their interests and learned about potential career paths in a job-fair-like set up.  6th, 7th and 8th graders were all able to enjoy this great event.

Thanks to chair Kathy Remeika for bringing this wonderful event back to Rogers and to all the volunteers and speakers who made this possible! Want to help out next year?  Email president@rogersmiddleschool.com.
