Non-Traditional Career Exploration Days at Pioneer

Non-Traditional days are coming up soon! There have been announcements this past week about another opportunity to visit Pioneer. This is one that I am pretty excited about!
The trip taken by the entire 8th grade includes quick visits to many different programs. This does not give much time for students to ask questions and get a real sense of what Pioneer can offer them.
Non-traditional days give students the opportunity to spend an entire day at Pioneer. On December 10th, boys can get a closer look at the Health programs, Performing Arts Academy, Culinary Arts, Cosmetology Lab, Horticulture Lab, and Graphic Arts. On December 2nd, girls can get a closer look at Carpentry, Auto Technology, Computer Aided Drafting and Design, Industrial Electricity, IT Support, Masonry, Precision Machining, and Welding.

This is an all-day career event for eighth grade students. They will ride to and from Pioneer on Lexington buses. Lunch is provided at no cost. All materials are provided at no cost. Students will even receive some items to take home.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, see Miss Cavalier for more information!

Focus

Do you have trouble focusing? Here is a fun tip that ANYONE can use, at ANY TIME! All you need is a pen and 1 minute! Step 1: Find a pen or pencil. Step 2: Hold it up to your face, about 1 foot away. Step 3: Focus on the end of the pencil for 1 minute (setting a timer will help you to avoid being distracted). For this one minute of time, do not allow yourself to think about anything else! Just focus on the end of the pencil! This would be great to try before beginning your homework, studying, at the beginning of a big game or race, anytime! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. I will be trying it also:) I challenge you to use this trick at least once this week! (It might be good to try this before or during the Math & Science testing:) One Minute Life Hack Will Make You Do Everything Better!
