FMS NEWSLETTER 3 Farragut Middle School 27 Farragut Avenue Hastings-on-Hudson, New York 10706 Phone – 914-478-6230 Fax – 914-478-6314 http://www.hohschools.org A National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Gail Kipper Principal Hilda McGivney Assistant Principal Dear Parents and Members of the Community, We are gathering information from our Farragut Middle School community about people who are interested in speaking to the 8th grade students during our Career Day. This year Career Day will be on Friday, March 27, 2015 from 1:30-2:45 in the middle school gymnasium. During this time students will be encouraged to speak to the presenters about their respective career and occupation. There is a vast wealth of educational resources in our community. We would like to bring to the students an overview of the many occupations that support our society. Students need to know the responsibilities of different careers, the necessary educational backgrounds for different positions, and the subjects in school that influence and enhance career decisions. As an integral part of the Home and Career Skills Curriculum, students explore and research various careers. If you are interested in volunteering you may contact Romeo Spiniello (Career Day Coordinator) by emailing at spiniellor@hohschools.org. We invite you to share your occupation and expertise with our students. Thank you. Sincerely, Romeo Spiniello Home & Career Skills Teacher Career Day Coordinator FMS NEWSLETTER 4
