🌟 You are Invited to Our School's Career Share Day! 🌟

Greetings Beaver Families,

Beech Tree is hosting a Career Share Event on Wednesday, June 5th for our Beaver students in Pre-K to 5th grade. We encourage parents and family members from all jobs to sign up and share with our students! Children enjoy and learn so much as presenters explain their career and show “tools of the trade” with the students. If you’re feeling unsure about how to make the presentation student friendly, know that we will be providing guiding topics to talk about. 😊

Career Share Day Volunteer Time Slots:

  • 9:45am - 11:00am (Pre-K – 2nd)
  • 1:45pm - 3:00pm (3rd - 5th)

You can choose to volunteer in the morning, afternoon, or both! Each presentation will be 15 minutes. Parents will rotate to a new class to share the same presentation up to 3 times. If you would like to volunteer, sign up below by Friday, May 17th. We look forward to hearing from you.  Please email or call Diamond Torres, Beech Tree School Counselor, at adtorres@fcps.edu or 703-531-2600 with questions!!
