This was a different kind of career day in Canfield

CANFIELD

A firetruck, police car, SWAT vehicle and more lined the front parking lot of Hilltop Elementary School.

Students tried out a different kind of career day Friday – Vehicle Career Day.

Climbing in and out of trucks, tractors and construction vehicles while honking horns and testing durability, elementary-school students exercised both their bodies and their minds learning about careers involving wheels.

Julie Miller, PTO member, said being outside was a nice change for career day.

“It’s nice to get fresh air and get in and out of things – it’s not just standing at a table and somebody talks,” Miller said.

Sara Michaliszyn, event chairwoman and PTO member, said the hands-on aspect of this career day makes it unique in comparison to others.
