Navarre Elementary First Annual Holds Career Day
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
“We want our students to
be college and career ready,” said Katherine Taylor,
principal of Navarre Elementary School explaining why she
was inspired to organize the school’s first Career Day.
On Friday, April 1, Taylor
and her staff brought in more than a dozen guest speakers
who addressed the Navarre students on a wide range of career
options.
The Toledo Public Schools
mantra of educating students to be “college and career
ready,” said Taylor led her to fashion a program that would
get Navarre students to start thinking about “what is it you
think you do well?”
Seventh and eighth grade
students had the opportunity to listen to McDonald’s owner
Jon Harris, Beirut Chef Eli Abou Rjeily, Bail Bondsman Tina
Butts, Toledo Police Officer Matthew Kozlaker and Marshall
Adams, aircraft mechanic. In addition seventh and eighth
graders also learned about the opportunities they would have
with TPS in preparing for careers from Khalfani Rice of the
adult education department.
