On Friday, November 4th, the Tri-County ESC and The Buckeye Book Fair hosted students in grades 3-8 from across the tri-county area to learn from local authors and illustrators: Marcy Campbell, Jeff Alt, Jerzy Drozd, and Tricia Springstubb.

Students were able to purchase books from the book fair, and had the opportunity to speak to and get signatures from the authors and illustrators!

A BIG thanks to Tri-County ESC, The Buckeye Book Fair, the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education, Ohio Arts Council, and all the participating schools for making this day a success and possible for these students. It is a great event for students to come together and learn from these talented individuals.

Is a great time for those of all ages to explore careers and the opportunities the future holds. These experiences will help individuals come closer to discovering a career choice that they will love and excel at, as well as inspire those already in their occupations to work towards their career goals!

Since 1967, the National Career Development Association has promoted National Career Development Month in an effort to improve career development at all stages! Click on the NCDA logo for great resources to help integrate career exploration and awareness in your classroom and more!
