Job Shadows and 08-09 Internships

February brings about job shadow time again. I would like to note that any student who would like to take part in our 2008-2009 internships must have preformed a job shadow this year. Job shadows are open to junior and seniors, and any sophomore over 16 who is seriously considering an internship next year. Please see me in my office if you would like to take part in either the job shadow or internship program.

Thank you,
Mrs. Ellis

The State of My Office

Though not relevant in any way, I felt the need to comment on the state of my office. Prior to today I had random paperwork and supplies stored in various places through out my closet of an office. I would not be surprised if it was a store room in past life. Well, my generous boss bought me a file cabinet, for which I am thankful to her. Here is the BUT. In the process of trying to organize all of my STUFF into the cabinet I may have creates a mess that I am now buried under. SO if any student wants to save me by helping clean this disaster I have created, I'm waiting somewhere under all of the paper and cardboard boxes.

Job Shadows

February and March brings about job shadow time. The student job shadow program is a one-day program which gives the student a first hand look at a career by providing the student the opportunity to "shadow" a mentor in the work environment for a day. The purpose of the program is to provide the student with a realistic look at a career so that he/she can make a sound and informed decisions. The experience may confirm a students career choice or direct them to further career exploration, either result is valuable.
