Take Your Child to Work Day

Take Your Child to Work Day is held on Friday. Take Your Child to Work Day involves 7th graders. This program is a National Organization and this is Deuel School’s 14th year with the program. The purpose of Take Your Child to Work Day is to provide the 7th grade students with valuable career information. When growing up, you learn about your parent’s job and getting to go with a parent to work provides a close look at what their job entails. It also helps develop an appreciation and understanding of the parent, by the student to what is necessary in order to achieve at that particular job.
When Lexi Seeley was asked how many parents actually take their child to work, she said, “95% of the students will go with a parent. Some jobs because of liability, client or patient confidentiality a student may not be able to go with that parent. If that is a case we have those students be "adopted" by someone else and have an alternative place for them to visit.”
The kids should get out of this program the knowledge about their parent’s jobs, exploration into the world or work, and an experience that will create and interest and open the students mind to what they might be interested in.
