WSMR Works kicked off with a game of human Chinese checkers April 15 at Army Community Service at White Sands Missile Range.
WSMR Works is an interactive career expo where several vendors will come out and help students in grades K to 8th engage in decision making skills allowing kids to explore new trades and occupational opportunities and activities. The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 1 at White Sands School.
In the weeks leading up to the main event students will have a chance to earn WSMR Works tokens which they can redeem at the expo.
Bell Gym is sponsoring the main event on May 1 where students will be able to do interviews, take pictures, and experience other career fields. Several organizations on post will partner with Bell Gym.
The April 15 event was a team building event where students and their parents tested their playing skills. Students earned a WSMR Works token for participating in the after school event.
Students can earn up to 18 tokens by participating in WSMR Works events on post for the next 2 weeks. They can be redeemed at the Interactive Career Expo scheduled for May 1 at White Sands School.
