SOPHOMORE CAREER DAY<br />
On March 20, 2013, <strong>Addison</strong> tenth grade students<br />
attended Career Development Council’s 27 th<br />
annual Sophomore Career Day at Alfred State College,<br />
along with 342 students from Bath, Bradford,<br />
Campbell-Savona, and Hammondsport and explored<br />
24 careers with presenters from local businesses and<br />
college professionals. Students pre-selected four career<br />
sessions. Alfred State Interim President, Valerie<br />
Nixon, welcomed students and provided insight into<br />
what a college education can offer. Keynote speaker<br />
Elaine Morsman of Alfred State shared tips from<br />
current college students who were asked what they<br />
wish they knew in high school. She encouraged students<br />
to be open to new career directions. It is a rare<br />
person who stays in the same career for a lifetime.<br />
Our sophomores and others from the four<br />
school districts had a taste of campus life, including<br />
lunch in the dining hall. Many students now understand<br />
the value of a winter coat after walking between<br />
buildings on this blustery, snowy day.<br />
Students were encouraged to ask questions.<br />
When asked about salary, Web Development speaker,<br />
Joel Dudley, pointed out that salary size should<br />
not be the primary determining factor in a job<br />
search. Family, friends, and other values need to be<br />
considered in these decisions.<br />
Corning Incorporated was the corporate sponsor<br />
for this event. Other contributing partners were<br />
Alfred State College, the Community Foundation of<br />
Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc., Steuben<br />
County Youth Bureau, and the five participating<br />
school districts.<br />

Drama Club Performance<br />
We were lucky to get to watch the Drama<br />
Club<br />
perform<br />
"Snow<br />
Biz" on<br />
Wednesday.<br />
It<br />
was<br />
about activities<br />
in<br />
the snow. There was signing and dancing.<br />
One scene was just like The<br />
Weather Channel with Mother Nature as<br />
the forecaster. The performance was directed<br />
by Mrs. Hamblin and Mrs. Perkins.<br />
My favorite song was "Snow Angel."<br />
This song was sung by all the girls<br />
and Jena Rice had a solo. It was a<br />
great performance.
