On Monday, October 22, 9:30-10:20 a.m., eighth grade students at Holmes Middle School, 2455 Mesa Road, will present their Passion Project. The media is invited to attend this event.

The Passion Project is an opportunity for the eighth grade students to investigate their current interests, passions, and skills, in order to prepare for a future career. Students will research a chosen career and present the career to our sixth grade students. Many students will dress in the attire of their chosen profession and describe what someone in this career would do, the educational requirements, and the salary range for this occupation.
