Students explored a wide range of career and educational pathways during the Northern Nevada Career Fair, organized by Schools to Careers Coordinator Dr. Sue Segura. The event brought together approximately 40 colleges, universities, employers, military representatives, and workforce development organizations to help students explore their options after high school. Representatives from institutions such as the University of Nevada, Reno, Great Basin College, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas joined local and regional employers, apprenticeship programs, and military branches to share information about educational opportunities, career training, and employment pathways. Students connected directly with representatives, asked questions, and learned more about careers in fields ranging from health care and education to engineering, mining, skilled trades, and technology. The event provided students with valuable resources and connections as they began considering their future goals and the many opportunities available to them after graduation.

Students in Randalyn Orong’s science class put their knowledge to the test with the Inertia Cup Challenge, an interactive activity that brought Newton’s laws of motion to life. Through the challenge, students explored the concept of inertia and observed how objects respond to forces and changes in motion. The activity gave students an opportunity to apply what they had learned in the classroom, make predictions, and see scientific principles in action while having a little fun along the way.

Students in Tina Koenig’s music classes have been developing their musical skills through singing, performing, and learning to play the ukulele. During Hispanic Heritage Month in October, fourth graders learned two songs in Spanish, “Palo Palito,” a traditional children’s singing game enjoyed across Latin America, and “Mi Cuerpo Hace Música,” which helped them learn Spanish vocabulary for different body parts. They also practiced singing rounds and partner songs, developing their ability to listen to multiple melodies at once as an introduction to singing in harmony. Fifth graders honored veterans by singing and performing “Thank You Soldiers” and “The Armed Forces Medley,” while also memorizing all 50 states through the song “Fifty Nifty United States.” Across all grade levels, students have been learning to play the ukulele and practicing proper concert etiquette, building the skills and confidence needed to perform for an audience as part of the district’s standards-based, learner-centered framework.

Through their lessons, students explored what it means to be a veteran and why Veterans Day is an important time to recognize those who have served our country. To wrap up the week, students created American flag windsocks, combining creativity with a patriotic tribute to veterans and their service.

Students in Victoria Potter’s class spent the week learning about their country and what it means to be a responsible citizen. They explored how laws are made, why they are important, and even had the opportunity to create their own silly laws. Students also learned about the voting process and participated in a mock election, casting their votes for one of two pretend candidates after learning about their beliefs and plans if elected. To wrap up the week, students explored important American symbols and their meanings, laying the foundation for their upcoming lessons and Veterans Day celebrations.
