October 21st, 2015 was not just "
Back To The Future Day" (the date Marty and Doc traveled to in Back to the Future II) - it was also 9th Grade Job Shadow Day at DRSS! The opportunities our partners provided to our students today were invaluable. Career
exploration opportunities like today exemplify what we mean by our motto
- "The Real World Starts Here!"
We can't thank our job shadow host sites enough for their participation, so we wanted to do so once more and share the many photos from the experiences students had all across the Miami Valley. Enjoy!

| Many of our job shadow partners are not pictured below, but we want to be sure to thank them for their participation! If you're interested in becoming a job shadow partner and hosting a 10th grade student in April of 2016, please contact Community Outreach Director, Arch Grieve, at arch.grieve@wright.edu. |
