Do you have an interesting hobby, career, or a hobby that has turned into your career? Our 8th grade students are looking for guest speakers on October 10th from 7:30 am-10:00 am. As a guest speaker, you will speak to small groups of students for approximately 20 minutes each about a life passion you have. In the past, we've had guests share about their hobbies from bee keeping to taxidermy; their careers in medicine, law and sales; and/or their travel around the world. If you have questions about what to expect as the guest speaker, please email Maggie Folk at mfolk@byron226.org. Thank you!
