Greetings partners and friends,
We are excited to launch a new initiative at Chadwell Elementary School (321 Port Dr., Madison, TN) designed to introduce our students to a wide variety of career paths early on.
During the second semester, we will host four Career Days, and we would be honored to have you join us as a guest speaker.
By sharing your career story, you will help inspire our students—from Kindergarten through 5th grade—and open their eyes to the many possibilities their futures can hold. Our students are eager learners, and your participation would make a meaningful impact.

Each Career Day consists of two one-hour sessions. You’ll present your career story to one group from 8:30–9:30 a.m., then move to a second classroom from 9:30–10:30 a.m. An MNPS staff member will be present in each classroom to support you throughout the visit.
