/students, events, features Career Week is held at Chowan BY LAURIE HUFFORD Staff Writer Sixteen parents, in a total of 40 speakers, recently partici pated in Chowan Middle School’s 6th grade career week. Many professions were repre sented, and studentsespecially enjoyed samples brought in by several of the restaurants (e.g., The Lovin’ Oven and Creek side Restaurant). Lori Lichtenwalner, a CMS counselor called “Ms. L” by most students, explains, “Our school, in the School Improve . ment Plan, decided that we needed to do more career ac tivities through the Counsel ing Center and through the Job Ready Program. Mr. Boyce (Job Ready) provided the in centive and the information to help it happen.” Lichtenwalner says that, once they decided to get speak ers to come in and familiarize students with different jobs and the education that those jobs require, she began trying to schedule speakers. Through contacts within the commu nity and memos sent home with students, Lichtenwalner was able to enlist the coopera tion of policemen, lawyers, writers, hospital administra tors, restaurant owners, vet erinarians, eye doctors, bank ers, florists, extension agents, ministers, recreation depart ment employees, and even the Superintendent of Schools. Each 6th grade class had a speaker every morning for a week. “It’s been incredible,” Lich tenwalner says. “There hasn’t been anything like this, since I’ve been here anyway. I think this is a new initiative.” Lichtenwalner says that, up until now, career focus has been primarily on the 8th grade, but that the school is trying to build a program that will be continuous throughout the grades. She says that the elementary schools, with “truck days” and' similar events, do an excellent job of familiarizing children with different areas of employ ment, and that it gives CMS something to build on. Sixth grade has career week. Seventh graders, Lichtenwal ner hopes, will soon have job shadowing for half a day, on Groundhog Day. There is also an interest inventory for 7th graders to take. “We dpn’t want them to choose a career,” she says. “They’re very young in their educational process. But it can help narrow down (fields).” Eighth graders will fill out job interest surveys, attend the business expo, and complete preregistration activities for high school. With the 8th graders, “the process just continues,” she says. “We’re slowly trying to build on things.” Hot lunches to be served to students Monday: Breakfast - Waffles and syrup, milk and juice.
