Tool Day

                     FOX HOLLOW ELEMENTARY
       Work-Based Learning - Connecting Classrooms and Communities
     PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, AND FRIENDS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
CAREER TOOL DAY  is  Thursday, March 22, 2012 from 9:00-10:30 a.m.





Tool Day is a career-education activity where your children have the opportunity to learn about different professions.  We’re looking for volunteers to talk with the students about their career and share some of their “tools of the trade”.  These “tools” include anything used on the job that can be shared with the kids--they’re curious about everything!

THE STUDENTS LOVE TO “SHOW OFF” THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
 AND LEARN ABOUT NEW CAREERS!
If you or a family member can participate in Tool Day by talking about your career in four different classrooms, including those of your child(ren), for approximately 15 minutes each, please complete the bottom of this page and return it to your child’s teacher by Friday, March 16, 2012.  We will call you to confirm participation and give you details.
Thank you for helping provide career awareness for Fox Hollow students!
