Students in St. Landry Parish are already learning about life after school.

Washington Elementary hosted its second annual career fair for students in fifth through eighth grades.

Administrators invited three other schools to join them in talking with more than 40 vendors.

“It’s never too early,” said Brenda Lavergne, Principal of Washinton Elementary. “It’s good to expose our children to these types of experiences and giving them a head start on where…or a general idea of where their interest may lie and what type of career path they want to take. It’s never too early.”
