East Salisbury Elementary Holds Career Day, Taste of Maryland Day Friday, May 15
East Salisbury Elementary School will hold a Career Day for fifth-graders and its annual Taste of Maryland Day celebration for fourth-graders in Friday, May 15.
Fifth-graders will attend a career fair designed to expose them to different careers in the community. During the morning session (9-11:30 a.m.), students can chat with Sidney Johnson of the Maryland State Highway Administration, Lore Chambers of the Mayor's Office, Cyndi Slacom on health careers, Creig Twilley of PAC 14, and Keith English and Eric Gosnell of Pepsi. In the afternoon session (12:45-3:15 p.m.), Career Day guests will be Tom Redden of Perdue, Capt. Shue of the Armed Services, Betty Cook on nursing, Nicole Griffin-Winder of Wicomico County Juvenile Justice, and members of the Wicomico County K-9 Unit.
Fourth-graders have prepared for the Taste of Maryland Day by hearing a presentation on "Farming in Maryland" by Connie Oakley Wednesday. The students traveled to Oakley's Farm Market in Hebron to pick strawberries for strawberry shortcake and learn about how strawberries are grown on the Shore.
From 9-11 a.m. on Friday, Dana Evans of Classic Cakes in Salisbury will demonstrate how a multi-layer Smith Island Cake is made, talk about life on Smith Island, and give cake samples to the students.
Then, from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., it's time for the Taste of Maryland feast, with students enjoying steamed crabs (many of them for the first time), barbecued chicken, watermelon and strawberry shortcake. The Taste of Maryland Day will conclude with a waterman presentation from 2-3:25 p.m.

Sounds like a fun day for those kids. Would love watching them attempt to pick the crabs. That's going to be a big mess but a fun one.
ReplyDeleteEveryone of my kids could pick their own crabs by the age of two, and not waste any. Shore-Babies grow up to be Shore-Billys. They only get the J&O or Old Bay in their eyes once. And "Foxy Brown" loves the crabs.
