Operation Preparation--Still Need Volunteers

Operation Preparation is two weeks away and we are still in need of many volunteers to make this a successful event for all of our students. 

The morning session will take place on March 13th from 8:30-11:30. All of our 8th grade students will have the opportunity to speak one on one with an adult volunteer who is currently working in a career field that the student is interested in. We are looking for volunteers to talk to students about the appropriate path to take to reach their goals and answer questions that they might have about the job. All volunteers will be served lunch following the advising sessions.

I'm still looking for volunteers to talk to students about the military(1), medical professions(2), performing arts/design(4), CSI/Detectives(1), athletics(2), social worker/counseling(1), technology/animator/video game design(2), veterinarian/biologist(1), artist(1). (The number is how many volunteers are needed.)

​Also we would like to have at least 10 more booths for our afternoon College/Career Fair. This is for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Tables are provided. Please come early for a volunteer lunch and then enjoy your afternoon sharing with our students about your career. The fair will take place on March 13th from 12:00-2:30. 

If you would be willing to meet with our students about careers in any of these areas, please contact Nellie Poe at 502-570-2390, ext. 1392 or nellie.poe@scott.kyschools.us. 

Operation Preparation Volunteers Needed

We still need volunteers for Operation Preparation so we can host a successful event for our students.

We need volunteers to participate in the morning advising sessions. This will consist of meeting one on one with an 8th grade student to discuss career options that the student is considering and possible paths to follow to get there. You will be assigned students in your career area to meet with for approximately 15 minutes. Online training is available on the KDE website. These sessions should begin about 8:30 and wrap up by 11:45. Even if you are only available for an hour I can make it work.

We need volunteers for the afternoon, too. This will consist of college and career booths set up for 6th, 7th, & 8th grade students to browse through and gather general information. Students will come in groups of about 70 and will have 15-20 minutes to visit the booths. The students should begin visiting booths around 12:00 and be finished by 2:30.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in participating in any way.
