Hi Families
In just two weeks, we’re hosting Career Day from 2:00–2:50 PM on Monday, 2/10/25, and Tuesday, 2/11/25. We still need volunteers, especially for Monday the 10th—if you’re available, we’d greatly appreciate your support!
We’re looking for volunteers to share their career journeys with our students. It’s simple:
- 5-minute talk about your current or past career
- Answer fun student questions
- Bring props, uniforms, or even work vehicles to make it exciting!
Who can volunteer? 👨👩👧👦 Anyone in your family can volunteer in any grade level. Your student doesn’t have to be in a specific class for you to participate. Your career could be the inspiration a student needs!
Sign up today! 📩 Contact the school counselor & ✅ Complete the EPS Volunteer Form (including a copy of your driver’s license).
We’re so excited for our kids to learn about the amazing variety of careers out there and dream big about their futures! 🌎✨
Thank you for your support!

Kate and her kids, Sophia and Daniel, are new to Home Choice this year. She chose this program so she could provide individual attention to her kids and their education. She is most excited about exploring different subjects, doing engaging activities and art.
When Kate was a student her favorite subject was English!
We are happy she is here!
