Exploring Jobs and Careers
in Omega
In November, Omega boys held their Career Fair where
faculty and parents met with future doctors, soccer players,
race car drivers, bus drivers—even a spy! The boys shared
their original career study books, which contained colorful
illustrations and facts about the careers they selected. With
great animation, they displayed their knowledge and were
eager to answer questions posed by their adult visitors.
During the fall, the class studied various careers and their
roles in the community. They welcomed parent visitors to
their classroom to talk about their careers; and went on
several field trips, including one to the Queens County
Farm Museum where they learned about the farmer’s role
in society.
The Exploring Jobs and Careers study engages Saint
David’s young students in the type of active, hands-on
learning that boys love and which deepens understanding.
GLI Partnership
Fifth and sixth graders have the opportunity to explore
the Gilder Collection through the school’s partnership
with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
At the beginning of each school year, GLI President James
Basker conducts a workshop for sixth graders and parents
on the importance of historical documents, particularly the
valuable information and insights they provide.
