The FWPS DiscoverU Week is next week, October 12-16! FWPS schools are participating in this annual week of career exploration to help scholars learn about the career opportunities available in our region. Schools and community partners will lead a week of college and career exploration activities for scholars to expand their interests and identify career path options. They will also learn about the education and skills needed to reach their career goals.

Send photos of your child dressed as what they want to be when they grow up, in their favorite college gear, or participating in career exploration activities to [email protected], and we’ll share in an upcoming social media post!

Learn more about DiscoverU Week at www.fwps.org/DiscoverU.
