On November 19, our students had an incredible day at the College, Military, and Career Fair, hosted in partnership with Central Decatur FCCLA, Graceland TRIO Talent Search, and the Central Decatur Counseling Department!
This event was all about exploring life after high school, providing real-world opportunities for grades 9-12 from Central Decatur AND Mormon Trail to explore their next steps.
✅ 45 Total Reps: 28 businesses and 17 college/military representatives were on hand!
🤝 Real Connections: Students asked questions, learned about training programs, job opportunities, college majors, and military options.
🗣️ Skill Building: Students even participated in mock interviews to practice professional communication and job-readiness skills!
Thank you to all our amazing community partners and volunteers for making this valuable event possible and giving our students a meaningful look at their future possibilities!

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗗 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 ❄️
Snowy weather has arrived and we want to make sure all of our students can enjoy their outdoor recess time safely and comfortably! Please take a moment to review these important guidelines.
𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: All students will go outside for recess when the temperature and wind chill are above 0°F. Please ensure your child is dressed warmly!
𝗣𝗞-𝟮 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
– Need snow boots to play on the wood chips.
– Need snow boots AND snow pants to play in the grassy areas and to sled.
𝟯-𝟲 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
– Must stay on the cleared cement unless they have the proper footwear.
– Need snow boots (or an extra pair of shoes) to play in the snow.
– May go into the grassy areas without snow pants, but are expected to stay upright and not roll around or get excessively snowy/wet.
✅ 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆!
Please help your child enjoy recess by making sure they have a warm coat, hat, and mittens every day.
📝 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗘𝗟 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚!
Snow Pants and snow boots tend to all look the same when they are left out. Please write your child’s name clearly inside them so they can easily be matched up with the correct owner!
