South Edmonson Elementary School held it's very first career fair on Thursday, September 12th for 4th grade students. Coordinated by school counselor Shannon Lowe, local businesses were invited to set up for the kids, give their own "show-and-tell" about their respective careers, and answer questions from the students.

Mrs. Shannon said that SEES is being proactive in the encouragement of students to learn, set goals, and have dreams for their futures, and the career fair was for the purpose of the kids to learn about career opportunities in their own community.
