Gardiners Avenue students stepped into the role of a firefighter for Career Day on May 16. Students at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School in the Levittown Public School District got a glimpse of a variety of careers directly from professionals in their respective fields on May 16.

A firetruck and police car manned by firefighters and officers were in front of the school, waiting for students who were eager to get a closer look. Students learned about the many tools of the trade used by servicemembers, such as the equipment firefighters wear in emergency situations. They also experienced the inside of the vehicles and got a hands-on look at a garbage truck used by sanitation crews. Career Day returns to Gardiners Avenue every year to inspire students to pursue impactful careers.
