FJC and JAE celebrated the importance of education and choosing a career path during College and Career Week. Students shared their excitement for the future by participating in spirit days – wearing Rocky Point gear for “Your Future Starts NOW!” day; wearing red, white and blue or camouflage for “Be All You Can Be!” day; donning college/university gear for “I’m Geared Up for College!” Day; wearing bright colors for “Your Future Is Bright!” day and dressing up to share what they would like to have as a career for the final day of “Career Day!”

The elementary Career Day was organized by JAE guidance counselor Mrs. Jean Costa and FJC guidance counselor Mrs. Jamie Adamski. Family members submitted career videos that were shared across the grade levels.

“We want to express our gratitude to the families who submitted career videos,” Mrs. Adamski said. “We had careers from pilots to lawyers to wedding officiants, physical therapists and others. Such a great experience for our Virtual Career Fair.”
