Brother and sister Travis and Taylor Scarincio joined our fourth graders today for our first Career Day of the year! Miss Scarincio, a nurse in the cardiac cath lab at Glens Falls Hospital, discussed how she helps patients and the training required to pursue her career. Mr. Scarincio, a Realtor with Hunt Real Estate in Glens Falls and a second-year speaker, taught students basic information about homeownership and how a Realtor assists people in buying and selling houses. They both talked about what they love most about their jobs and encouraged students to continue learning and growing.
