MENDOTA – A special Career Day event was held at Mendota District 289 on Wednesday.

Over 240 students from Northbrook School and Holy Cross took part in the activities. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Conservation Police brought their educational trailer and a boat for students to see in person. Other speakers, including lawyers, doctors, electricians, and others each spent about twenty minutes talking about their profession and answering questions.
