Through Grand View School’s continuing partnership with the Cherokee Foundation, eighth grade students were able to participate in JA Inspire Virtual, a Junior Achievement of Oklahoma Career Exploration Fair. Students are masked and physical distancing in the classroom while using chrome books to login and navigate through a virtual Career Fair. Career opportunities are presented as students virtually interact with businesses and decide what career they would like to pursue. "This activity allowed Grand View eighth graders to virtually learn about careers from businesses and industry representatives so that they can begin making academic plans for high school and be better prepared when they leave Grand View. We had plans to attend the Career Fair last year, then COVID happened,” said Dr. Larry Ben, Middle School Principal. “We’re glad that this opportunity was made available to our students.”
