As part of the Burrowes Elementary School- A Full Service Community School ongoing commitment to enhance educational opportunities for its students, the school hosted a special Career Day event, featuring Claudia Deitch, Reentry & Community Outreach Specialist, and Richard Oliver, Youth Engagement Coordinator from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The visit was organized under the school’s ARC Core Unit which focuses on the theme “Jobs in my Community” for the 2nd graders.
“Our goal is to not only educate our students about different professions but to inspire them by showing how these roles contribute to our society,” said Alex Rohrer, Community School Director at Burrowes. “Having experts like Ms. Deitch and Mr. Oliver share real-world applications of the concepts we teach helps deepen students’ understanding and engagement.”
During their visit, the representatives delved into their career journeys, day-to-day responsibilities, and the educational paths that led them to their current roles. Claudia Deitch discussed the significance of community outreach and the justice system’s role in helping reintegrate individuals into society, linking her career back to themes of social studies and ethics discussed in class. Richard Oliver focused on his engagement with youth initiatives, highlighting how crucial literacy and communication are in his efforts to mentor young individuals.
This event is part of a broader initiative by Burrowes Elementary to connect learning with real-world applications, thereby enriching the educational experience and preparing students for the diverse opportunities that lie ahead. The school looks forward to hosting more community partners who can continue to foster curiosity and aspiration among its students.
