HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — The cafeteria transformed into a newsroom at Laburnum Elementary Monday morning, giving students a front-row seat to the world of broadcasting.
I spent the morning at the school's career fair, helping students step into the role of anchor, meteorologist, and sports reporter — reading straight from the teleprompter and ad-libbing a bit, too.
Every student had a chance to shine, building confidence, finding their voice, and maybe even discovering a future career.
But journalism was just one of many paths on display. Students also met nurse practitioners, a pastor, engineers, a fashion designer, a muralist, Henrico firefighters and police officers, and a soccer coach from VCU.
