Thanks given for TRAC event
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
“You see things; and say, ‘Why?’ but I dream things that never were: and I say, ‘Why not?’ This quote by George Bernard Shaw was emphasized by teachers wearing shirts for the April 4th Junior TRAC event at Jay County High School. Each student in the junior class received a t-shirt with “Why?” and the goal was to provide an opportunity for students to see if they were on track for their future.
Fulfilling a goal shared by 20/20 Vision and The Portland Foundation, John Jay Center coordinated the first Junior TRAC (Tools-Resources-Achieve-Career) event. The event would not have been possible without the support of The Portland Foundation, Jay County High School, 20/20 Vision Committee members, Jay County Hospital, Jay County REMC, and the John Jay Center committee members, along with the Board of Directors.
One goal of this event was to provide the junior class of Jay County High School an opportunity to connect with more than 55 young professionals sharing their career expertise along with identifying their course selections in preparation for their senior year. We would like to thank the guidance department for allowing us to work with them to help reiterate the importance of taking advantage of local opportunities towards future careers.
The John Jay Center would like to thank all of the professionals for taking the time to share their experiences in various careers with the students. Special thanks go to Emily Roberts for contacting the young professionals and for printing the t-shirts for the Jay County High School teachers and students.
The event was filled with opportunities to connect with local young professionals and gain information about the Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs. Comments from several students stated their appreciation for these young professionals who took the time to share their stories. The high school students recognized, through the appearance of these professionals, that this community cares about their future and promoting their career through education.
We greatly appreciate the Jay County Hospital and Walmart for the donation of refreshments along with committee members who volunteered to serve.
Again, we would like to thank everyone who attended the event and hope you will join us again next year.

director, John Jay Center
