Over a dozen students are participating in Wicomico County Public Schools' C.R.E.W. program this summer. C.R.E.W. stands for Career Research Education and Work, and gives rising 10th, 11th and 12th grade students the opportunity to work in a paid position in the community for 6 weeks during the summer. Students also get classroom training on communication soft skills needed to be successful in the workplace.
On Wednesday, the students were visited by Lower Shore Workforce Alliance's Sherri Sigrist who spoke to the class about various job opportunities available on the Eastern Shore and how to pursue those careers.

Looking ahead to next week: Wicomico County Public Schools will be closed Tuesday, July 4. School system offices, secondary summer school and some programs are open July 3. Check with other programs for schedule that day.
Wicomico Public Schools is transitioning to a new text alert system for the new school year. It's called Thrillshare.
You will receive an "introductory text" on your phone from our new system on Thursday afternoon (June 29th). You'll know the message is from us because you'll see the 5-digit code of 98900.
If you no longer want to receive these text messages for school updates, emergencies, closings, delays, etc., simply reply STOP to that text message.
Again, just a reminder to look for an introductory text message from our new alert system on Thursday afternoon. We wish you the best this summer and look forward to seeing you after Labor Day for the start of the new school year - Wicomico Public Schools
