On Monday, December 19, 32 freshmen from Wakefield Community Schools braved the cold to attend career day at Northeast Community College. Each student had an individualized schedule which consisted of 4 breakout sessions and had been selected based on their unique interests. There were 36 different sessions ranging from drones in agriculture to crime scenes to nursing skills. Many of the sessions involved hands-on activities which really engaged the students. Some students even had a session which involved them dissecting a cow eye! All students enjoyed lunch provided by NECC. The students left the event inspired and with a renewed excitement for the future.

Closing the Opportunity Gap
Maria Gonzalez, a bilingual Northeast Community College representative, came to Wakefield Community Schools today to speak with 26 of our high school English Language Learners. Maria's presentation was completely in Spanish. She spent time debunking the myth that college is unaffordable or inaccessible for them. She told her story about overcoming obstacles to achieve her goal of furthering her education. She also talked about the many opportunities students have available to them, such as the dual credit courses that Wakefield Community Schools offers through NECC. Maria answered many of the students' college related questions and plans to return to Wakefield in the spring to discuss the process of applying to college and the programs offered at NECC. Several students stayed after Maria's presentation to converse with her individually. She was a great inspiration for the students.
