Career Day at Elyria Community Elementary School was a success despite pop-up showers and sticky humidity.
Eyes lit up Friday morning when Layne Kuhns of Ross Transportation Services pulled his big rig into the school parking lot. This particular career day focused on vehicles associated with various careers. The goal was to introduce students to new interests by way of exposure to a variety of career types.
Kuhns talked about what it’s like to drive for RTS and haul hazardous waste. Students asked plenty of questions — “Can you live in the truck?” “Are pets allowed inside?” — and jumped at the chance to peek into the cab.
The Elyria Police Department, Fire Department and Coca-Cola were all in attendance as well.
The best part? When students got to honk the horn, of course.
