Mace’s Lane Middle School, 8th Grade Trinity Frazier participated in conducting career research with a collaborative effort with her AVID teacher, Ms. Meyers-Brown and  Career Coach, Mrs.Shay for the MLMS Community Career Gallery Walk event in the fall. During the event, Mr. Goodson and his wife attended to support our students where Trinity sang for them. Months later, Mr. Goodson who works for the Governor’s Office of Crime, Prevention and Policy, who also happens to be a key partner in the Community UA Rise Flag Football contacted the school to offer Trinity the unique opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the Under Armour Flag Football Opening Day Ceremony  on Saturday, May 3rd! “Getting students to step out of their comfort zone, embrace their uniqueness, explore their interest, and communicate their career aspirations while seeing the doors of opportunity open is the best part of the role as a Career Coach” says Mrs. Shay Lewis-Sisco.
