The 8th graders will be attending the Adams County Commissioners Career Expo on November 18 at the Denver Merchandise Mart.  About 5000 8th graders from all over Adams County will get an opportunity to speak with business and education leaders about careers that interest them. There will be over 100 presenters, so this will be a great opportunity for our students!  Students are asked to wear nice clothes so they can represent our school well. Mrs. Amos has been helping the 8th graders do a career cluster inventory to help them decide where their career interests lie, and who they would like to go visit at the Career Expo!
