Students of Pembroke Elementary School took time Friday to learn about career and college options that exist in our region.
The Edge Media Group was among various businesses and organizations that participated in the event, as children were introduced to them and could ask questions.
Gracey Wilson from Farm Credit Mid-America said the children were receptive and had great questions.
Mari-Alice Jasper from the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library added her most asked question – do you have to be quiet in the library?
A’Khyla Dixon, a fifth-grader at Pembroke Elementary, shared what she learned during the event and what she is looking into as a career option.
Tierra Leavell, the coordinator for the school’s Dorothy Kingston Family Resource Center, said this was the first event since the COVID-19 outbreak and there were around 20 businesses represented.
