Nowata Middle School students recently took a trip to attend the Junior Achievement Career Exploration Fair. Mrs. Smith took the 8th grade students to Tulsa to the fair grounds and spent the day learning about careers directly from industry representatives. The students enjoyed the hands-on exhibits while learning about and exploring different careers. The 8th graders finished the trip with a lunch at Cici's Pizza!
