The Friday before CHCCS spring break, FPGB embraced an ambitious & exciting Career Day. Students in all grades rotated through sessions with 35 guest speakers & 2 hourlong workshops as they pondered the age-old question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” More on FB/IG!

“... and seeing that there’s people that look like me and I can do it, too.” Before Spring Break, Frank Porter Graham Bilingüe Elementary invited more than 40 speakers to their Career Day, many of whom represented the Black and Latinx populations. Check out the fun!
