ROCHELLE — Rochelle elementary students got a glimpse into some potential career paths Thursday morning.
Guest speakers paid a visit to Central, Tilton, May and Lincoln Schools as part of Career Day to introduce students to a variety of fields available to them. The volunteer speakers shared their experiences to students in the third, fourth and fifth grades in an effort to encourage and motivate them to pursue a career they are passionate about.
The idea for the event originated as a way for students to see role models aside from the individuals they are used to interacting with on a regular basis.
Sharon Hawkins with Rochelle Municipal Utilities wowed students in Mrs. Flowers’ fourth grade classroom as she demonstrated a chemical reaction in glass tubes filled with water. After adding a drop of a substance, the tubes instantly went from cold to warm.
