NORTH SHORE – Under the direction of counselor Carmela Garcia, the students at North Shore Elementary participated in a unique Career Day event last Monday morning. About a dozen local businessmen and agencies set up information exhibits in the parking lot of the school, and groups of students listened to a talk about the unique qualities of that career.

Careers represented included HPD police, EMS, Sheriff’s deputies, County animal rescue, newspaper, cable installer, air conditioner repair, food truck, insurance, dentist, Constable’s senior program, and more.

The event lasted about two hours, and groups of students listened to each career expert for about 15 minutes, and then rotated to another career.
