Careers in Motion 2007

Careers in Motion” brings to Reedy Creek Middle the folks that help us move people and goods."

On June 1st, grade 6 students investigated the many types of careers that support the transportation of goods and services in our city. The students meet city planners, engineers and surveyors. They talked with a geologist and emergency services. They learnered about the drivers and the vehicles that are used to keep our city running smoothly. The topics of vehicle maintenance, purchase and financing was handled by an licensed mechanic and automobile salesperson. Conservation was also featured in a visit from Eno Lindfors and his electrically run Sparrow as well as the city's recycling and environmental education services.

Reedy Creek students thank the presenters that hailed from The City of Cary's Departments of: Public Works, Planning, Fire, Police and CTRANS

The NC Department of Transportation and Rick Hendrix Chevrolet of Durham also contributed to the fair's success!
