Project Big to be held Project Big, District 207's career night, will be held April 13 in the Maine South Spectator Gym from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Over 200 different careers will be represented at Project Big. They range from social work and journalism to truck driving and cosmetology. New exhibits this year will be robotics and computer-aided design. The purpose of Project Big, according to Mr. Joseph Bonadonna, is to show students the vast career opportunities available to them. Mr. Bonadonna advises students to come prepared with questions to "get the most out of Project Big." He advises students that are interested in a career presented at Project Big to see their counselors or Mr. Reese in the Career Resource Center for more information
concerning those careers. Project Big is being organized by the Career Education Advisory Council, which consists of local business leaders and District 207 personrÂťel. Maine South Career Counselor Ken Reese is coordinator. Many Maine South groups are involved in the preparation for Project Big, making posters and aiding in the setting-up of the gym. Art Club, Business Club, CWT Club, Food Qub, Child Care Occupations and the Girls' Recreation Association are all helping out with Project Big. Mr. Reese commented, "The success of Project Big is not valued by the number of students that attend, but rather by those that come to the CRC with questions about new careers ideas discovered at Project Big."
