🚨*CALLING ALL COOL ADULTS!* 🚨 Cathey Middle School is hosting a *Career Day on December 12, 2025*, and they’re looking for volunteers to come talk to students about what they do for a living. Whether you're a **nurse, engineer, mechanic, teacher, business owner, chef, artist, IT wizard, police officer, electrician, content creator**, or even a professional cat herder (okay, maybe not that last one 😅) the students would LOVE to hear from you! You don’t need to be a professional speaker, just someone willing to share a little about your job, how you got there, and maybe a funny story or two. Middle schoolers can be tough, but I promise they’re also super curious and full of questions (LOTS of questions). If you're interested or know someone who might be, let me know, and I’ll get you the details. It’s just a short time commitment, but it could make a big difference! Thanks in advance! 💼✨👨‍🏫👩‍🔧

**Red Ribbon Week is almost here!**

We encourage all students and staff to participate each day and show their school spirit. Together, we can make a powerful statement that at Cathey, we choose to be drug-free! 💙💛
