Riverside Middle School hosted their annual Career Fair on Friday, May 4, 2018. The goal of the Career Fair is to make our seventh and eighth grade students aware of the numerous opportunities they could pursue in the future. Local businessmen and women including some Riverside graduates were invited into the school to speak with our students about their profession. The Career Fair is an excellent way to share the endless career possibilities that are awaiting our students. It enables them to begin asking themselves the necessary questions that will eventually guide them to their next avenue after graduation.
This year we had over thirtypresenters that were able to attend, and they made the event quite successful. The administration, faculty, and students would like to thank the following presenters for sharing their time and expertise with us:
