Attention Bunceton Alumni!!! Rachel Walker, RootEd Advisor, is looking for Bunceton Alumni volunteers that would like to come to a career day at school. The goal of this event is for students to see successful alumni to spark motivation. Working with students daily, I hear students doubting their ability to do big things because they are from a small rural community. Below is the careers students are interested in at this time: Nursing Human Resources Ultrasound Tech Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy Dermatologist Law Enforcement Agriculture/ Animal Science jobs Welding Artist Computer Tech Teaching Tattoo Artist Heavy Diesel Mechanic Insurance Banking Vet Farming If you are interested and do not work in one of the careers listed above, you are still welcome to come share your career with students, as they may not know about that career option. Date of the career fair will be in April, but no date has been set at this time. Reach out to Rachel via facebook or call the school at 660-427-5415.
