We have all faced the question of what we want to be when you grow up.

At Rupert Elementary School Principal Matt Moyer and his staff took that age-old question and turned it into a Career Day Fair for third and fourth grade students. 

With clipboards, survey sheets and pencils in hand, the students had a chance to visit with representatives of more than 30 different career paths and ask questions about their work and what education is need to enter the job market. 

 Moyer said, "this is a tremendous learning experience for our students, to speak face to face with so many representatives." 

Father and son lawyers Levi and Jack Wolf were 

on hand to talk about the legal profession.

Moyer added, "lawyers,veterinarians writers, photographers,bakers health care providers,firemen, members of the military and many more were on hand to give insight into their profession."

Steven Park, Pottstown High School's Director of Career Technical Education, attended along with student presenters who showcased each of the departments programs. 

"This was as much a learning experience for the high school students as it was was the Rupert students," he said. 

The future leaders of the country are in our classrooms today.
