At the fair, students are encouraged to ask questions, gather information, and consider local job opportunities. Whether they are interested in hands-on trades, skilled professions, or creative fields, there’s something for everyone. The event aims to empower students to think about their future, whether that’s heading straight into the workforce or pursuing further education.
Weather Update: Rain, Rain, Go Away!
A Busy Week Ahead
This week has been buzzing with more than just rain clouds as there are a few other happenings around our beloved town. For example, the Caddo Parish School District is looking for substitute bus drivers! It seems that keeping those wheels on the road is a top priority, and they are reaching out to the community for support.
In Shreveport, on a more serious note, there has been a tragic incident involving a domestic dispute that ended fatally, reminding us all about the importance of community support and intervention.
Meanwhile, the Caddo Parish Commission has been hard at work, finalizing a whopping $143 million budget for 2025, ensuring that our community continues to flourish and grow for years to come. And let’s not forget the Holiday Open House organized by CASA for Children Texarkana and the Texarkana Children’s Advocacy Center! They’re spreading cheer and goodwill as we gear up for the festive season.
Wrapping It Up
So there you have it, Bossier City! A vibrant week filled with opportunities for our students, reminders to take care of each other, and the community joining hands to support our future. Don’t forget to stay warm and dry, and if you can, swing by the career fair to see what amazing prospects are waiting just for you!
