This past week was the 2nd annual Sonntag Elementary College Week! Each day the students learned about the importance about looking to their future careers as well as colleges they could attend some day. The students and teachers wore their favorite college gear as well as participated in events such as slipper day. Check out this cool slipper day picture! 

To get the Sonntag students thinking about what they want to be when they grow up, I found a nifty non-fiction book that talks all about weird and unusual careers that real people have!
