Detective Fox and Corporal Pullen from Gordon County Sheriff's Department brought their Ghillie suit, years of experience and courage to Belwood's Kindergarten Career Day last week. Although concerned about sharing information with a bunch of little people, these two performed like the CHAMPS that they are and the students were so excited to see them. Detective Fox and Corporal Pullen walked away (more like ran) without being hand cuffed or tased by aforementioned small children so we think that is a victory for all involved! #winning
Thank you two for being such good sports and for elevating students' comfort level in interacting with adult professionals.

Students don’t just learn from their teachers. Community members and leaders can play a vital role in a student’s education. Kindergarten Career Day provided a platform where Belwood students could directly interact with members of their community.
Having a diverse group of presenters allows students to see themselves represented in different career paths. Thank you Capt. Trammell for serving as role model and mentor for our students.
So thankful for Community Partners in Education who take time out of their busy work day to come to Belwood to nurture career exploration and help students discover careers they may not have imagined. Shown here are Lt. Ron Chance,
Lt. Greg Hasty and FF Aaron King.

Last week Belwood Kindergarteners had visitors from our Community come and help students make the connection between school and the workplace. Sonoraville High School CTAE Construction Pathway Instructor Butch Burch even partnered with representatives from Home Depot in an amazing collaboration that resulted in some pretty spectacular tool boxes that may or may not be used by some future construction workers! Belwood is proud to enable students to begin identifying areas of career interest with the help of our Community Partners in Education!
