BMS recently hosted a Career Day for 8th Grade students. 24 presenters spoke about their different careers and the path they took to get to those careers. Students received a list of jobs in advance and chose the top six sessions they wanted to attend. Presenters included several members of the local community, and others from places as far as The Forks! Students got to learn from experts in the field of engineering, design, advocacy, business development, early childhood education, welding, banking, project management, and cosmetology. There were also sessions from members of our Military, a registered Maine guide, firefighters and police officers, a dental hygienist, Maine State Park managers. Based on the post-surveys, students learned a lot about the intricacies of various careers and life as a working adult. Career Day was an amazing day of learning for our 8th grade students at BMS!
