Over the past several weeks, Farley has hosted a series of Career Day experiences designed to help students explore future possibilities. Every grade level had the opportunity to connect learning with real-world careers!
-
PreK–2nd graders loved our 3rd annual Careers on Wheels event, where they got an up-close look at incredible vehicles like a cement mixer, firetruck, animal control truck, medical unit, and even a hotdog and pastry cart!
-
Our 3rd graders welcomed a variety of guest speakers, including a meteorologist, photographer, Washburn University CEI, and a KBI agent — each sharing their unique career journeys and sparking curiosity in our students.
-
4th grade students were inspired by members of the Washburn University Football team, who spoke about the importance of perseverance, grit, and responsibility both on and off the field.
-
Lastly, our 5th graders had the exciting opportunity to visit the Washburn Rural Innovation Center, where they explored innovative career pathways.
These experiences would not have been possible without the time, energy, and generosity of our volunteers and community partners! We are so grateful for everyone who helped bring these opportunities to life for our students! 💚
