Spring is in the calendar, which means that registration is open for Beacon City School District’s Career Fair! A great opportunity to meet Beacon students on their level. Learn how they tick and what appeals to them (candy and stickers).

This year's fair will be on Friday, May 29th and will run from 10:30am to 1:30pm. Set-up and a light breakfast will begin at 9:30am. The fair will be held in the gymnasium of Beacon High School (101 Matteawan Road, Beacon, NY). A light lunch will also be provided to participants.

Meet the future dreamers, the writers, nurses, the stylists, the engineers. Top attractions are the Twin’s Barbershop who give away free hair cuts, the drone dude, the video dude Video Ventures, several non-profits, and new businesses looking to connect with students.

“Each year, my goal is to bring on more participants in an effort to expose our students to the myriad of opportunities in the world of work,” said Michele Santiago, Guidance Counselor at BHS organizer of the event. “I appreciate you all so very much and thank those who have participated in past events.”

A Little Beacon Blog has represented there for maybe 6 years now, and delights in meeting the secret dreamers who quietly approach the table to inquire about writing and the creative path.

Michele Santiago, the high school Guidance Counselor, is the main point of contact. Registration is online and can be done here.
