Keystone Oaks School District

On December 5, Keystone Oaks Middle School students had the opportunity to learn from more than two dozen local professionals, representing fields ranging from advertising to veterinary medicine. 

For the event, which was organized by Middle School counselors Mrs. Shatten and Mrs. Crimmins, students were given about 30 minutes to visit professionals from career areas that interested them.
