Parents bring their expertise to class during Career Week

Students at East Rockaway’s elementary schools welcomed professionals — who also happen to be parents of students at the school — into their classrooms to talk about their careers and share their experiences in a multitude of interesting fields.

The kindergarten through sixth grade students at Rhame Avenue and Centre Avenue schools learned about a wide range of careers including law enforcement, architecture, healthcare, education, and more. Some of the unique lines of work explored were a filmmaker, elevator consultant, airline pilot, and scientist.

The students even met some new furry friends who do a very important job — therapy dogs.

The students were thrilled to get a glimpse into so many careers in one exciting week and were grateful to the parents that dedicated their time to share their experiences.
