Career prep isn’t just for highschoolers! This week our school counselor, Mrs. Clark, hosted a career café to help second and third graders connect who they are today with who they can become tomorrow.
In her classroom lessons, Mrs. Clark has been helping students identify their personal strengths and interests to show them how they connect to a future career path. By starting these conversations early, every student has the opportunity to build confidence to dream big! We are so grateful to the professionals who visited to inspire the next generation.
The Rotary Club of Midland Morning celebrated local teachers this evening and Mrs. Hollee Hart was one of them. She received an Inspirational Teacher Award for her dedication to literacy. Floyd Elementary hearts are full as we celebrate this and her upcoming retirement. 🖤💛
