A group of 10th and 11th grade Floodwood girls attended the Women in the Workforce event held on the MN North College Grand Rapids campus. They heard from a panelist of women who work in careers that are male dominated jobs. They told their stories and answered questions. This was a great opportunity for the girls to be exposed to jobs and opportunities they may have not thought of before. Then the girls attended a hands on session and checked out the booths set up with more information.
Due to continued health issues among players and coaches, tonight's Girls basketball game at Ogilvie is canceled.
