On Wednesday, October 23. Our 8th grade students will be participating in the 2024 WKY Launch Experience, presented by US Bank, at the Expo Center. The goal of experience is to expose students to local career options that they may not be aware of, in an effort to strengthen the local workforce of the future. Students will rotate through career stations set up by more than 40 businesses and educational institutions. Local career opportunities include professional services; hospitality; manufacturing; construction/trades; environmental, engineering, and remediation; logistics/transportation; health care; and public service.
Last year more than 800 students from the surrounding area participated in the Launch Experience!
Our 8th grade students will leave the school at 9:00am and arrive at the Expo Center at 9:45am. The students will begin their tour at 10:00am and finish at 11:45am. The students will then eat sack lunches downtown before returning to school around 1:30pm.
If for some reason you do not want your student to attend this field trip, please fill out the attached opt out form and have your student turn it into the office.
