Students and teachers at Walnut Springs Middle School in Westerville want to hear from you! As part of the Junior Achievement Career Speaker Series, a volunteer is asked to visit a classroom for a 30-45 minute presentation about their educational and career path. This is such an important lesson for kids so they can connect the dots between the classroom and the very, scary Real World! The volunteer opportunities are on October 25 and October 26.
