VHEW third graders learn about careers

In May, third-graders at Vestavia Hills Elementary West were given a glimpse of several different careers. Six individuals met with small groups of students, sharing with them what it’s like in their professions and answering the third-graders’ questions.

Six different careers were highlighted as the following individuals devoted a morning to VHEW’s career day: Kristin Avis, sleep specialist; Ezra Heath, special agent for the Internal Revenue Service; Robert Hurst, engineer with U.S. Steel; Ingrid Seymour, young adult author; Jennifer Smith, physical therapist; and Margaret Stinnett, executive director of the Birmingham Boys Choir.
