participate in
Career Day
For three hours Wednesday,
Nov. 9, every classroom at Perry
High School was filled with substi
tute teachers. But, instead of teach
ing reading, writing and arithmetic,
these “teachers” talked about being
doctors, lawyers, chefs and
plumbers.
From fanners to bankers and
engineers to athletes, more than 60
people from the Perry community
came and addressed students during
Career Awareness Day.
“The biggest challenge we face
is to prepare these young people for
successful careers,” senior coun
selor Hazel Jackson said. “There is
no better way to expose students to
career options than to bring busi
ness and community leaders, ex
perts in their fields, together to talk
with our students.”
Every student attended four 45-
minute sessions, each hosted by a
different presenter. Presenters dis
cussed such issues as job and educa
tional requirements, future trends
and the nature of their jobs. Fol
lowing each presentation, students
were able to ask questions and talk
with the presenters.
Presenters included local doctors,
lawyers, farmers, nurses, pho
tographeers, technicians, and repre
sentatives from civic organizations
such as the Rotary Club. One of
the more well-known visitors was
WMAZ-TV, Channel 13 weather
man, Bill Powell.
Jackson, the organizer ot today’s
event, added, “Our greatest resource
in America is our youth. We at
Perry High School try to expose
our students to diiffereut, viable ca
reer opportunities.”

The school’s student post office,
set up with die help of employees
from the Perry Post Office, func
tions as much like an actual postal
operation as possible. It has its own
student postmaster, letter carriers,
and clerks. All classrooms have re
ceived street names, addresses and zip
codes. Their mail is collected, sorted
and delivered by student postal work
ers.
”We think ‘Wee Deliver’ is a
very useful learning tool for our stu
dents,” says Principal Hutto. “With
the help of Perry’s Postmaster
Kirkley and other post office staff,
our student post office gives the
children a chance to practice and im
prove on a variety of skills, enhance
their self image and promote school
spirit.”
The “Wee Deliver” program will
officially open on Nov. 28, 1994.
Swearing-In ceremonies were held on
Monday, Nov. 21, 1994 atlO a.m.
