Our BCMS eighth graders recently hosted a Job Fair as part of a project-based learning experience focused on career exploration. Students researched careers, explored education and skill requirements, and shared what they learned with families, classmates, and community members. Great job to our students for the hard work and preparation they put into this event. Check out the story here: https://www.wnky.com/barren-county-middle-school-students-host-job-fair/
