Career Fair 

Sponsored By: Norfolk Girl Scouts Troop 3616 - March 6, 2013

Meghan Pillar, Eliza Sheehan, and Caitlin Donahue organized an amazing Career Fair for fifth and sixth grade girls.  The young ladies brainstormed an idea on how to earn their Silver Award for Girl Scouts.  In order to earn this award, each girl had to perform fifty hours of community service.  They did an outstanding job recruiting women from various professions to come and speak about their careers.  We had over thirty young ladies learn about different professions.  Below you will find some great pictures of this event. 

Would you be interested in being a chef?

Would you be interested in becoming a firefighter?

Would you be interested in cosmetology?
