Inspire students at the Kirbyville School Library career fair

Kirbyville School Libraries invite area businesses to join the inaugural Kirbyville Middle School Career Fair, planned for Tuesday, April 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Kirbyville Middle School, 6225 St. Hwy. 76 in Kirbyville. 

The goal of the event is to showcase a variety of different jobs that exist right in Taney County, giving students an opportunity to ask questions of the people currently working in those jobs or who own businesses that employ those professionals. Students are interested in learning what each field entails, how people working in those jobs prepared for and reached their goals, and why students might want to consider entering that line of work. 

Based on a student survey, librarian Alexandrea Bowman would particularly like to schedule guests in the following careers, although participation is not limited to those fields: 

• U.S. Military

• Digital creator, videographer, or photographer 

• Engineer or architect 

• Artist 

• Athletic trainer or coach 

• Meteorologist 

• Police officer, first responder 

• Doctor, nurse, therapist 

• Entrepreneur or small business owner 

• Musician or singer 

• Author or journalist 

• Lawyer 

• Zoologist 

• Or something the students haven’t thought of, but that you love doing! 

All guests will be subject to Kirbyville Middle School administrative approval prior to the event. Lunch will be provided to guests, with light refreshments available throughout the day. Get involved, or ask any questions you might have, by email to Alexandrea.bowman@kirbyvillebraves.org, or call 417-348-0444, ext. 2006.
