Dear Parents or Guardians, Our fifth grade and third grade classes will be undertaking a unique career week special project. With the world of work changing so rapidly through technology, it is becoming increasingly important that we start early in educating our children about the workplace. Our goal is not to push for elementary students to choose a career, but to Studies show that students work harder in school and grades improve when students make these connections. This career week project includes many activities that will be integrated into math, science, health, music, social studies, language arts, art, and character education. One particular activity will be a career day where with community members sharing their career with the students. We will need volunteers to facilitate our community guests, be community speakers, and donate lunch for the speakers. If you would like to volunteer or want more information about the activities, feel free to contact me at //enteremailaddress@schooldistrict.edu// or xxx-xxx-xxxx. Sincerely,
 * help them understand that everyone works,
 * for them to learn about different careers and the skills required for each job,
 * for them to identify their interests, and
 * most importantly for our children to make the connections of why the things they are learning in school right now are important to their future and used in the world of work.
