County Prepares For Shadow Day Junior Achievement of Northeastern Pennsylvania announced its plans to recruit local business people to serve as one-day mentors on February 2, as part of Groundhog Job Shadow Day for Elk Lake, Forest City Regional, and Mountain View High School students. The purpose of the event is to encourage young people to see the connection between what they are learning in school and what skills are needed in the workplace. Volunteers in Susquehanna County businesses will join their counterparts nationwide in hosting one million student "shadows" for the day.
