Check out our "WHY TRY" program at Jordan School!
************************************
************************************
The students in Mrs. Lee's second-grade classroom at Jordan School had a visitor recently as part of the school’s Why Try? Program. Amber Lee (Mrs. Lee's daughter) spent time with the class discussing her job as a medical assistant in a doctor's office. She also told the children about attending SWIC (Southwestern Illinois College) and working towards a nursing degree. The children asked many interesting questions about the college and her job in a doctor's office. |
