NHS Career Center Thanks Community Volunteers
To the Editor:
The staff of the Career Center at Newtown High School would like to thank the community volunteers, especially the community volunteers who participated in the Newtown High School internship, career shadowing, and senior project programs. Without your dedication and hard work our students would not have had the opportunity to participate in a career field of interest. This enables the students to make more sound choices for their future plans.
