My name is Amy Pacchia. I interned at Chatham Middle School with Ms. Packie. My internship experience was new, enlightening, and exciting. It helped me get a sense of if I would ever want to pursue this career path after college. To the kids, I was an older student, who could help them with any questions they had, about their work, the high school, a test and more. To the teachers, I was a helping hand, I could run and get them copies if they needed, help grade quizzes, or collect papers. I did everything I could to make their classes easier for them. I think Chatham High School prepared me for my internship because the school helped me mature into the person I am today. By the help of my teachers and counselors, I have learned respect and discipline for others. It also provided classes to me like early childhood development which let me explore a child’s mind. I liked the relationships quickly built between myself and the students. They quickly grew comfortable in front of us interns. They showed us respect while also making my days more interesting with their jokes and playfulness. A good candidate for this internship in the future would be someone with patience, kindness, respect, and confidence. You need all these qualities mostly on how to handle these kids in the best way possible, kind, patient and to have the confidence to speak up to them. With that, respect for your mentor and motivation to help them out.

My name is Sophie Koehler. I interned at Chatham Middle School with Mrs. Packie. My internship experiences was fun and insightfulI facilitated class discussion, made copy’s, helped the kids one on one with their work, raided papers and made relationships with different teachers. I was able to speak up for myself and that’s a skill I learned through all of my presentations and work. I loved interacting with the kids during my internship. I was specifically with 8th graders and since they are kind of close in age they were easy to talk to and interested in what you were saying. A person that is patient and positive would be a good candidate for this internship. It’s easy to get annoyed with the kids and their questions but you have to sit back and stay relaxed because they truly do care about your answers.

My name is Bree Haberman. I interned at Chatham High school, working with Mrs.Fallon in the English Department. I loved my whole internship experience. Working with students, creating assignments, grading papers, It was all so educational and fun. I am majoring in communications in college but I definitely want to work with kids in the future as a coach or teacher of some sort. Throughout my internship, I have watched Mrs.Fallon teach and observe the strategies she uses. I will take everything I learned and put it towards my future as a teacher of some sort. All of Mrs.Fallon's students were so sweet and welcoming to be joining their class for the last few weeks of school. I had so much fun interning at CHS with Mrs.Fallon.

My name is: Baker Carroll. I interned at: Mr.Cleary's classroom at Lafayette avenue school. My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it): Incredible, I got to see what it's really like to be an elementary school teacher every day. The kids are amazing and I am so happy I got so close with many of them. During the internship we helped Mr.Cleary pass out papers, grade tests, and general cleaning and organizing in the classroom. We also had to learn how to deal with kids when they acted up or needed to be talked to. This rarely happened as Mr.Cleary had a fantastic class. I have had multiple wonderful teachers at CHS over my four years there and I tried to model off of them when I was in the classroom with Mr.Cleary. A handful of the amazing kids trusting me with their questions about middle school and high school are really gonna stick with me. They looked up to me as a helper teacher and mentor.  A couple of girls I know from dance such as Sofia Naguada and Riley Druhot would be amazing with fourth graders and carrying similar responsibilities that I had. I have seen them be very good with kids and they have upbeat and outgoing personalities. I had such an amazing time!!

My name is Shayna Badian. I interned at Chatham Middle School with Mr. Raguseo. My internship experience was amazing. During my internship, I helped Mr. Raguseo with daily tasks such as organizing and cleaning the room as well as printing and making copies of paperwork. I also helped him grade several 100-word spelling tests. In addition to helping Mr. Raguseo, I helped the students with worksheets and answered any questions they had. CHS prepared me for my internship by giving me time management and organization skills. The most memorable moment from my internship was when the 8th graders would come in and we would talk about high school or their upcoming Washington D.C. trip.  A good candidate for this internship would be someone with patience and someone who could see themselves teaching in the future. This was a great experience and a great end to my senior year.

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Kate Fox and I interned at Chatham Middle School. My internship experience was educational and extremely rewarding. My role during this internship was being an extra set of hands for the students and for my mentor, Mr. Raguseo. We assisted on reading comprehension activities, graded spelling tests, and ran things from the copy machine to other teachers. CHS has definitely prepared me for this experience by holding me accountable and showing me appropriate social skills in a classroom setting. A memorable moment from this experience would have to be just watching the students improve and grow, especially with spelling. To describe a good candidate for this internship in the future, I would say the most important skill is to have patience. Have patience with yourself, mentor, and the students. Overall this experience was very fulfilling and I would recommend it to anyone.

My name is: Ethan Versh, I interned with David Hill at Walkley Works. My internship experience was awesome, I definitely got a lot out of it while still having fun. I'd describe my role during my SIP as an apprentice, I learned to use machining tools and how fabricate various things from tools, to solar panel rigs, to decorative finishings. Something I took from my time at CHS was to communicate effectively, being on the same page as David and others made life much easier. I really enjoyed the process of actualizing projects, seeing them come to life and then be used for their practical purpose. A good candidate this internship in the future is someone who likes creating things, and working with their hands and possesses a lot of patience. Overall, I can't recommend this internship enough, anyone who is interested should pursue it.

My name is Nicole Sim. I interned at Chatham High School with Mrs. Long. My internship was better than I could have imagined. I had several responsibilities including creating lesson plans for all levels of biology. I created certain activities and labs throughout. I also had to clean and organize the lab prep room to make sure the biology teachers had access to a clean and organized space. I believe that CHS helped me prepare for this internship as the combination of classes that I took throughout my 4 years allowed me to be level-headed during a stressful situation and be creative when thinking of solutions throughout. I loved working with Mrs. Long as she has such a fun and creative way of teaching but is so invested on helping her students. She loves teaching, and makes it so the students are engaged throughout the course. I think that the person would have to be organized and would help if they were a lab assistant in the past. They should like to be around children. This was a great way to spend the last couple weeks of my senior year.

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Lila Tapper. I interned at the Chatham Borough Finance office. My internship was very memorable. I utilized resources such as Word and Excel that I normally do not use. I also learned a lot more about what it is like to be in the finance industry. The biggest responsibility I held was returning tax overpayments that had been building up over the years. In order to do this a lot of research had to be done to figure out how to get the money back to these people. I feel as though CHS taught me how to work hard and be responsible. Thus being both extremely important qualities at my internship. I loved the sense of community at my internship and their ability to make me feel included. In the future, I feel as though a good candidate for this internship must be hardworking and interested in finance.

My name is Shannon Carey. I interned at Chatham Middle School in the Cooking classroom with Mrs. Georgio-Maranzino. Throughout my internship I was able to  help prepare food labs, clean the kitchens, prepare lessons, and help the students on their projects. My internship experience was very positive and rewarding. I am grateful for the relationship I was able to build with my mentor, and the Middle School students, and to be able to see the students succeed. CHS gave me strong communication, problem solving and leadership skills that I was able to use, and also offered the freedom for me to take classes I enjoyed such as a Nutrition class which I was able to relate to my internship. A future candidate should be able to think on their feet, and be outgoing to be able to best help the students, and have the best experience. Overall, I have had an amazing internship experience!

My name is Gabby Jupin. I interned at Stretchlab located in Summit, NJ. I loved my internship experience. As someone who is going into college undecided, I am unsure of what field I would want to pursue yet being at Strethchlab, I have become more interested in advertising and marketing. During my internship, I was in charge of running and organizing the Stretchlab social media pages. This included Instagram and Facebook. I also created company newsletters and worked with customers to receive testimonials. I spent most of my time at the front desk yet I was also able to visit the different studios which was exciting. This allowed me to take a variety of photos and videos I could then upload as stories, posts, or reels. At CHS, I learned how important it is to work well with others. While at Stretchlab, I was given many assignments that involved working with others, whether it was other employees or customers. I made sure that everyone's opinion was heard when creating content to make it the best it could possibly be. One thing I loved about my internship was the people I was working with. I felt quickly welcomed by all the staff as well as the customers. All the flexologists and front desk employees were always willing to help me and answer any questions I had. Additionally, I loved all the different opportunities I had while interning at Stretchlab. One memorable moment was the pop-up event Stretchlab held at the Morris County Country Club. I was able to take lots of pictures and videos of golfers who would stop in to get a stretch which was fun. A good candidate for this internship in the future would be someone who is outgoing and creative, yet someone who can work well with others. Being able to make relationships with customers is also extremely important, especially if you plan to ask them to be involved in the company's social media. Interests in the business fields such as marketing and advertising, or interests in social media, photography, and graphic design would all also be great interests that would align with this internship.

My name is AJ Sita and I interned at Chatham High School with Mr. Clark in L15 (Video/TV Production Teacher). My internship was very hands-on and collaborative. I’m very grateful for the people I was able to work with and the creative environment I was surrounded by.
The bulk of my responsibilities surrounded editing videos for various different District and school events. On June 1st, The Pulse aired their final crossover episode of Season 12, and I co-shot, produced, and edited the different segments for that episode. I also attended the District Art Show and the TedxChatham events to create promo videos and film both district events. Generally, I helped the students in Mr. Clark's classes with anything video/editing related as well. CHS helped me prepare for this internship by giving me the opportunity to take the different Digital Media and Video Production courses throughout the past 3 years. These courses were a baseline for my passion in film and allowed me to explore different styles outside of the traditional creative box. One of the most memorable parts of my internship was hosting the CHS Pulse again for the last time. I took TV Production last year in Season 11, and the Students + Mr. Clark let me host again for the final episode. It was really fun being in front of the camera again and being in a LIVE set environment. I definitely loved how the final product of the finale turned out.  A good candidate for this internship is someone who is patient, organized, and collaborative. These were key elements in my internship that I learned were essential to the efficiency of creative projects. When working with other students, you need to be flexible and accommodating while also being aware of your own skill and value. Being able to interact with various types of people is an amazing quality to have. And of course, I would advise that a candidate for this internship should be well rounded in Video Production elements related to camera work and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Overall, I really enjoyed my internship  working with Mr. Clark and Aden Tran in L15 for the past few weeks!

1. My name is: Cooper Hnatov

2. I interned at: The Chatham Middle School

3. My internship experience was: It was instructive because it reminded me of many of the basic lessons that I had completed long ago and it helped to humble and prepare me for college by reinforcing my base knowledge in french.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: While on internship, I was taught by Mme. Marshall, a french teacher at the middle school. While there, I helped to create lesson plans, tests, quizzes, and games for the students to help them learn and improve their french speaking abilities. When students were absent, I was responsible for getting them back up to speed and teaching them the lesson. On top of this, I was also responsible for telling the 8th graders what high school was like for me and how they could better prepare themselves for it.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: CHS was able to prepare me for my internship by not only teaching me the subject material for the classes I helped teach but it also taught me how to work with others and how to make compromises where they needed to be made. Specifically, through some of my classes as well as being on the baseball team, I had plenty of time working with underclassmen who at times, didn’t fully understand a topic or the lesson. Due to this, I would try to help those people and get them back up to speed which then prepared me for teaching the students at CMS.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? The main thing that I loved about my internship was that after a certain amount of time, many of the students turned to me for assistance rather than just going straight to Mme. Marshall or their computers. This showed me that they were beginning to trust me and appreciate me for being there to help them in the areas where they struggled.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? A good candidate for this internship would be someone who not only is good at the French language, but also someone who enjoys it and who wants to learn more about the language itself. If the intern is not interested in French and or does not speak it well, it may be extremely difficult for he or she to successfully teach the class and the students. They must also be patient when dealing with the students because like everyone, they are not able to understand things immediately and therefore the intern must be able to move at their pace as well as their own.

My name is:
Aria Prithviraj
I interned with:

Mrs. Pk’s theater and stagecraft classes at Chatham Middle School

My internship experiences was (one or more words to describe it):
Both rewarding and enlightening

During my internship,
I was responsible for painting sets, assisting the students during class plays, grading student packets, and organizing props.

I think CHS prepared me for this internship:
By providing me with a good work ethic and teaching me to respect myself and the students.

During my internship I loved working with the students. By understanding them and their personalities, it became easier for me to help the class plays run more smoothly.

I think a good candidate for this internship would be someone who is patient while working with students, as well as having some degree of artistic ability if they are interested in working with sets.

My name is Rachel Williams and I interned at Chatham Middle School with Mrs. Palma. My internship experience was really good, I learned a lot about working with kids while having a lot of fun. My main roles were maintenance of the classroom and assisting the kids with their Shark Tank project. Skills I learned in CHS that prepared me for this internship were presenting and teamwork skills. I loved getting to work with the kids and all the connections I made, and for someone looking to do this internship in years to come, skills I recommend having are flexibility and improvisation.

Hi. My name is Elsa Spoor. I interned at Oak Knoll. My internship experiences was informative and fun. My role was shadowing the athletic trainer at school and during games and practices. She taught me about how she takes care of the injuries the teams currently had. I took exercise physiology my junior year at Chatham High School which helped me understand a little better about the role of an athletic trainer that I would have without that class. I really enjoyed being around everyone who worked at Oak Knoll because the athletic staff was so welcoming and they made my time there super enjoyable. Someone who can handle being busy well would be a good candidate for this internship because at times there could be seven girls in the office asking for something and you need to attend to everyone. I also think people who have had injuries in the past that keep them from performing athletics will like this job because you feel more inclined to help those when you have been in their shoes before.

My name is Daniel Morton and I interned at TSP Capital Management Group. My internship experience was insightful because I learned so many things in the financial world and took away a lot of key values I will carry with me. Around the office I had a lot of responsibilities like transferring calls, getting coffee, and reading financial reports. CHS did an amazing job preparing me for this by helping me mature throughout high school and also the business classes like financial literacy that helped me in the office. I loved being in the office setting and the exposure everything in my environment had engulfed me in. A good candidate for this internship next year is someone who is confidential, respectful, and hard-working. I wanted to thank you for this opportunity and let you know this helped me so much. I learned a lot from interning at TSP.

My name is Remi Levato and I interned at Lafayette Avenue School in the Library Media Center. My internship experience was exciting. When originally meeting all of the fourth and fifth grade classes that came into the library, I introduced myself. I also checked books in and out, and  this time of the year is very busy at the library as all of the books have to be returned by the end of the school year and there are many projects going on at once. CHS helped me in many ways with this internship. This includes building strong relationships with the people I worked with. Also, taking art classes in high school also helped me with my creativity when constructing the bulletin board. To add, by being co-captain of the varsity girls golf team, it gave me leadership skills which helped me being a role model for the younger students. A good candidate for this internship would need to be artistic and creative. Overall, this internship was a great experience and I had so much fun. I would definitely recommend it for future senior interns.

My name is Jamie Lynch and I interned at Chatham Middle School with Mrs. PK.
My internship experience was insightful. During my internship, I mainly worked with the fly lines. These raise backdrops up and down on the stage. I also helped paint set pieces, and worked to organize the props for different plays. I helped the theater and stagecraft students with the plays that they put on in class, and I also helped Mrs. PK with grading. I think that CHS prepared me for my internship by teaching me how to work best with other people. I was working with Mrs. PK, my two fellow interns, and the students all at the same time, and we needed to work together so that things could run smoothly. The most memorable part of my experience on internship was being able to work with the fly lines and set pieces for one last time. I have volunteered at the middle school in the auditorium in the past, and it was fun to work with other seniors in helping the students. A good candidate for this internship in the future would be someone who has a lot of patience working with teenage kids, and who also has some sort of interest in the theatrical field. A lot of the work that we did revolved around the stage and the mechanics of what it takes to put on a show, and the internship definitely requires some level of interest. This internship is a lot of fun, and I hope that future students will choose to intern with Mrs. PK in later years.

My name is Charlotte Bandekow. I interned at Chatham High School with the Physics Department, specifically for Mr. Lee. My internship experience was exciting and enjoyable. During my internship, my fellow intern and I essentially acted as full-time lab assistants for the physics department. We helped to prepare for the big end-of-year project, Conqueror of the Hill. Additionally, we helped run matches, check benchmarks, and cut materials for the competition. Further, we helped set up some of the physical science labs for Ms. Crampton’s class. We also fixed some of the demo equipment like the mini power plant and the Vandergraff machine. One of the larger projects we completed was a complete redesign of the six flags packet which is handed out as a major point acquisition during the annual great adventure field trip taken by the physics classes. CHS prepared me for my internship by providing me with the opportunity to be a lab assistant during the year. Additionally, by taking Mr. Mariano’s Intro to Design and Innovation class, I was certified to use CHS’s power tools. This was necessary for my internship. The most memorable part of my internship was the amount of time I was able to spend with the physics teachers and my fellow intern. The interactions and relationships within this internship made it an incredible experience that I am very grateful to have had. I’m honestly very sad to end it. A good candidate for this internship is someone who obviously loves physics, is able to get things done in a timely manner, and is certified to use Mr. Mariano’s power tools.

I interned at the CHS Art Department. My internship experience was exciting and had new experiences every day. I was in charge of organizing the Art Show for this year, and I had to ensure the correct artwork went to the right person after. CHS prepared me by giving me a sense of responsibility right off the bat during freshman year. This allowed me to get done what I needed to get done in an efficient manner. I loved having my friends as fellow interns and having my favorite teachers as my mentors because they just made for a more fun environment. Any Pre AP students this year should definitely consider being an intern in their AP year because you get to see art being made from the other side of things.  It’s important to be patient and creative, because you often have to improvise when things don't go your way.

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Lindsey and I interned at JAG-ONE physical therapy. My internship experiences was educational. While I was there, I watched the physical therapists work on patients, assisted patients with their exercises, got people heat, ice, and equipment, talked with the patients, cleaned tables, and did laundry. CHS prepared me well because I took exercise science at CHS which gave me a basic understanding of the different muscles and how they work. Certain terms they used at PT were already familiar to me because of the exercise science class. I really enjoyed watching therapists work on patients. My mentor was moved to a different clinic a few days a week, so I watched a lot of different therapists who came in to cover for him at the Chatham office. I found it so interesting how each therapist had a different technique for treating the same injury. I also liked getting to know the patients and seeing them progress each week. If you are interested in entering a health science field or are just interested in how all the muscles work together I would definitely recommend interning at a physical therapy office.

My name is Skate Lapus. I interned at Lafayette Avenue School with Mr. Cleary. My internship experience was meaningful to me because I was able to reconnect with the fourth grade teacher that I had and make connections with the students. As an intern, I had to be a positive role model for the fourth graders. The class spent a lot of time meeting with their book club groups, so I had the responsibility to make sure the meetings ran smoothly and effectively. CHS always pushed me as a student and as an individual. Going to Chatham, it has taught me to manage my time and be able to handle my busy schedule. When I started my internship at LAF I knew that I was fully prepared to adapt to the new schedule and be able to respond to any task that I was given. I loved being able to connect with the students over the four weeks. Each day the students had the opportunity to share stories and ask me, the other intern, and Mr. Cleary questions.  Anyone who is kind, enthusiastic, and a big Harry Potter fan would be a great intern for Mr. Cleary!

My name is Liz Yarcheski and I interned at the Reeves- Reed Arboretum. My internship experiences was engaging, active, and interesting. Each day we were given different tasks to do throughout the grounds. We were never bored and always had something to keep us busy. Often these tasks required us to do physically hard things, like mulching. Alongside the different jobs that we did the workers were also teaching us different things about the plants and trees at the arboretum. At the arboretum we were in charge of managing and keeping the grounds. We often were given tasks like water flowers, weeding, getting rid of invasive species, and mulching beds. Another common task we had was planting flowers and trees. CHS helped prepare me for my internship by teaching me how to follow instructions and work with others. Each day we were often given many instructions about how to complete tasks, so it was important that we listen carefully to our instructors.There were also other interns at the arboretum so it was important that we were able to work well together to effectively complete our tasks. Overall, loved being able to see how my work was benefiting the community and arboretum as a whole. Our work did not go unnoticed and people who visited the ground would often come up to us and tell us what a good job we did. I felt very appreciated by the staff, who were very nice and organized. I also loved being able to be outside and work aside with other interns my age. Someone who would enjoy this internship is a person who enjoys being outdoors in nature would enjoy this internship. Someone that is looking for an internship that is very much hands on and physically engaging. I think if someone has an interest in gardening or plants and the environment would really love this internship. Lastly, one of my favorite memories was when me and kelsea planted a tree in the woods. We had to dig a very deep hole but when it was finished it was very rewarding.

1. My name is: Lola Polishuk

2. I interned at: The Chatham Middle School

3. My internship experience was interactive and had lots of creative juices flowing every second of the day.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: Some of the responsibilities I had during my internship were mostly based around the idea of setting up for the art show, and making sure everything was set up for people to browse the artwork. Another responsibility I had was to make sure everything was taken down from the art show, and stored away for next year. It was a lot of hard work but with a lot of help we achieved our goals, and had an amazing art show.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: I think Chatham High School prepared me for my internship by teaching me to learn to communicate with others around me, and by learning to work with others in any environment given to me. I think communication was a big role played last week because it wouldn't have been possible without everyone communicating so well together.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? Something I loved about my internship was reuniting with Mrs. Keseshen and helping everyone out with the art show because you can truly see that everyone puts so much effort into setting it up, and trying to make it look perfect for families. Something that was most memorable for me was making a lot of new friends in middle school, and learning that even when there is a big challenge you will get through it because of all the help I was surrounded by.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? A good candidate for this internship would be someone who likes working with art, and someone who enjoys organizing a lot of materials. This internship is very hands on, so I would say this would be an internship for someone who likes working with others. Some skills that are important to have at this internship are teamwork and communication because you work with so  many people around you.

8. Any last thoughts or reflections about your internship you want to share? (if not, do not include in your video) This internship was so fun, and I recommend this internship for everyone that is looking for an internship that is very interactive.

CHS Computer Science Internship - Alexander Chatterjee

# data[].attributes.body
Hello everyone! My name is Alexander Chatterjee, and I interned with Mr. Hajdu, the computer science teacher at Chatham High School. Overall, my internship was just as fun as it was educational!

During my internship, I had two main responsibilities. My first one was to modify the current computer science curriculum through comprehensive coding and rigorous testing. By coding JUnit Tests, I was able to design self-grading programs which could help students identify common errors. Additionally, I tested cybersecurity labs to determine its relevance, effectiveness, and ease of teaching. My second responsibility—and the part of my internship I loved the most—was to my pupils. During my internship, I took six students under my wing and taught them advanced topics in order to test my JUnit Tests. As I was teaching and assisting my students, I was able to feel a glimpse of what Mr. Hajdu does on a daily basis! The whole experience was very enlightening.

Chatham High School properly prepared me for the internship. In particular, my prior computer science classes helped me be able to efficiently and effectively program while my prior engineering classes helped me with my flexible problem solving skills. For example, when I first started designing my JUnit Tests, I was stuck with how to implement them. The original JUnit Tests only checked for specific variables while I needed to identify designated outputs. Thanks to my problem solving skills, I was able to creatively implement my own variation by using my programming skills to learn about the ByteArrayOutputStream and PrintStream classes. For future candidates of my internship, I cannot stress these two skills enough—it’s not enough to think outside the box, you need to act outside of the box!

Once again, my name is Alexander Chatterjee, and thank you so much for listening to my presentation!

Hi, our names are Katie Crawford, Anushka Jois, and Sarah Fidora. We interned at Madison Eyes. Our internship experience was positive, eye-opening, and fulfilling. We learned a lot of things we can use in the future. Our responsibilities were preparing charts for the next day’s patients, doing I and Rs which involved teaching patients how to insert and remove their contacts for the first time, scanning and shredding documents, and and learning about the anatomy of the eye from the doctors. CHS prepared us for our internship because we were organized and had both the self-accountability and time management to stay on task. We really enjoyed working with the staff because they were very helpful, patient, and kind. A good candidate for this internship in the future would be someone who’s organized, hardworking, and motivated. We would recommend interning here with another student because it makes the experience more fun and enjoyable because you have someone to collaborate with.

My name is Ella Linn and I interned at Lafayette Avenue School with Mrs. Shulman.
My internship experience was very fun and eventful. I really enjoyed working with the kids there.
Some of my roles and responsibilities while working there was helping out the teacher with grading, organizing the classroom for next year, and handing out papers/collecting books. My teacher is retiring next year so there was a lot that she needed to do regarding organizing and cleaning out the room and making sure all of the grading was done.
CHS prepared me for my internship by teaching me organization and responsibility. Along with being very outgoing and knowing how to talk to people and keep a conversation.
The thing I loved most about the internship was definitely connecting with the kids and really getting to know them. I had lots of conversations with them about school and life in general. I loved being able to be a friend to them.
A good candidate for this internship in the future would definitely be an outgoing and fun person. Someone who is good with kids and good at talking to adults. Some good skills to have are leadership, organization, and good communication.

My name is Mary Young and I interned at Washington Avenue School for Mrs. Volker. My experience as an intern was extremely life-changing. I myself attended Milton Ave elementary, and it was super cool to experience another first grade class at an entirely different school. It was also so nice to go back to the first-grade world and experience it as a senior. I was a teacher assistant and mainly helped the kids with work, passed out papers, ran errands, and did small things around the classroom. I think that a good candidate for this internship in the future would be someone who works well with kids and has a lot of patience. This has been the highlight of my senior year, and I cannot recommend it more!

JAG-ONE Physical Therapy - Bella Bankert

# data[].attributes.body
My name is Bella Bankert and I interned at JAG-One Physical Therapy. I had a very positive and informative experience at my internship. During my internship, I took on many various roles. I did a few housekeeping tasks such as cleaning tables and doing the laundry, but I also got patients heat/ice and the equipment they needed for their exercises. Mainly though, I got to shadow a PT and was able to talk to many different patients as well as learn about different injuries and the care for those injuries. I think CHS prepared me for my internship by teaching me self advocacy, how to work hard, and also how to interact with all different types of people. I loved being able to interact with patients on a regular basis and learn how each patient has different needs. I think being able to work with all different types of people is a very important skill to have in life and I made a lot of great connections through my internship. I also really enjoyed shadowing the PTS and being able to learn about different bones and muscles throughout the body while also learning how to care for those injuries through a treatment plan. A good candidate for this internship in the future would be someone who is good at communication, has good time management skills, and has somewhat of an interest in the field of physical therapy.

My name is Kiera Yarcheski. I interned at the Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit NJ. The words I would use to describe my internship are engaging, educational, and rewarding. During my internship, I had to help maintain the plants and flowers.  We helped plant, mulch, weed, water, and more to maintain all of the beds at the arboretum. We also spent some time in the woods where we spent a few days clearing brush and then planting new trees. I think CHS prepared me for this internship because I had to use problem-solving skills. For example, we had to figure out how to tie up a branch that had snapped and was dangling from a tree. We used our knowledge from physics about where to place the strings that would best support the tree branch to the tree. What I loved about my internship is the people that I met. The people in charge were so gracious and grateful for our help. The work we did never went unnoticed and we felt very appreciated for the work we did there. The people that work at the arboretum are also so kind and passionate about horticulture and the environment, I find it inspiring to pursue a career that actually makes you happy and fulfilled with your life. I think someone who is interested in the environment and plants would absolutely love this internship. I also think someone who is willing to put in physical effort would be best for this because it was rigorous physical work that we had to do mostly.

My name is Anna DeCesare and I interned at Chatham Middle School with Ms. Goldberg’s 6th grade science classes. I would describe my internship experience as rewarding and amazing. During my internship, I graded the students' cell tests and projects, was in charge of running the review games prior to the tests, printed and made copies of assignments, redecorated the classroom bulletin boards, and acted as a mentor and a source of guidance for the students. CHS prepared me for my internship by giving me studying techniques that I was able to pass on to the students and additional insight into high school, which many of them had questions about. CHS also taught me how to act as a leader through various clubs and organizations that I have participated in throughout high school but also as a helping hand for the students. CHS has also helped me develop my creativity which I had to use when creating the new bulletin boards. I loved that at my internship I was able to use the knowledge that I have learned over the years to help out the students. I was able to help the students complete their labs using the microscopes as I have had lots of practice with them in my biology and forensics classes at the high school. This also was helpful as it helps to remind me of what I have learned and put my skills to real use. The students were also so excited when the microscopes were focused and they could actually see their specimens under the microscope. Someone who has a lot of patience and enjoys helping others and using their creativity would be a good candidate for this internship.

I'm Kelsea Lee and I interned at the Reeves-Reed Arboretum. My internship experiences was a good learning experience. Based off of my time with the arboretum, I learned how to use different lawn equipment and planting skills. Something I really enjoyed learning was how to plant a tree. In the woods, we had to clear out a space full of invasive plants and then dig a large hole to plant a tree. At the arboretum I work alongside the few directors in the horticulture department. All the employees there are very knowledgeable and work independently based off of their various tasks that need to be fulfilled. Throughout my day there I will help fulfill the tasks that I am asked to complete. CHS prepared me for this internship because through multiple assignments I gained a good work ethic which helped me get what is asked of me done at the arboretum. My most memorable experience was ripping out  invasive species from the woods. We had to pull grapevine from off the tops of trees and then dig the roots up from the ground. This was very tiring but so much fun. For someone to be a good candidate for this internship in the future, this person should be someone who enjoys the outdoors as well as someone who is a hard worker.

1. My name is: Zoya Nisar

2. I interned at: Lafayette Avenue School

3. My internship experiences was (one or more words to describe it): I would describe my internship experience as memorable because I got to see what it was like to be a teacher, and it was fun to spend time with the kids in the school I went to as a child.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: In my internship I mostly graded their papers. Usually I would grade them, and then Mrs. Marshall would call the students back to explain to them what they did wrong. I also helped Mrs. Marshall around the classroom. Since I came in at the end of the year she started to pack up her classroom, so I helped her clean the whiteboards, check if the markers were still working, and label her materials. I also did some little things to help her out such as handing out papers, getting papers from the printer, dropping materials to other teachers, and putting the students work in their mailboxes. Finally, I also went with them to specials such as Library. They also had DT, music, Spanish, gym, and art.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: I think CHS prepared me for this internship because I worked a lot in groups which helped me develop patience and people skills which are two things that you need to deal with the students. I also had incredible teachers at CHS who were role models to me, so I tried to act like them around the kids so I could be a mentor for them too. Finally, being the president of a club at CHS taught me leadership skills which I think is needed to be able to engage the kids.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? I loved connecting with the students. They were all so sweet and I loved talking with them because of how funny they were. My sister was also in the switch class, and it was nice spending a little extra time with her before I leave for college. I thought it was fun to see her in school.  Finally, I just loved being in Lafayette because I went there when I was younger so I was able to see and talk to my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Cleary. Also, the Spanish teacher who taught the fourth graders taught me in middle school, so it was nice to reconnect with her as well. I was able to see how some things stayed the same, but some were definitely different.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? I would definitely recommend someone who has patience because you need patience to be able to teach them and help them in what they did wrong. Another quality I would say is important is being outgoing and talkative because I think the way you make a connection with the kids is when you talk to them about things that they like or want to talk about. Then when they develop this connection with you they feel more comfortable asking you questions.

1. My name is: Jeffrey Burke

2. I interned at: The Pediatric Center in New Providence

3. My internship experience was (one or more words to describe it): amazing. I felt like I was working a real job at some moments. It was definitely more interesting and involved then some of the others but I have an interest in this field which makes it enjoyable showing up and going to the internship from 8:30 to 3:30 4 times a week.

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: my two main projects at my internship were starting and completing a project on specialty referrals which included creating separate documents for all the specialty doctors and QR codes that link to the documents so it's easy and updated access for patients. Recorded using spreadsheets over 250 incident reports from Blue Cross Blue Shield for prepayment audits.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: I think my experience with google, spreadsheets, docs, slides,  and shortcuts was great. This was super important because the people I worked with were not as experienced with that so when I came, I helped them learn my tricks and this made doing less time consuming. I was able to do tasks in a very short time and keep pushing through the tasks they asked me to do.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? The most memorable experience would be knowing about myself. I was tasked with two main projects which felt super overwhelming but once I was working on them, I got the hang of it and started to have this desire to complete it ASAP. It took alot of determination to get through these challenges which was super great to know if I work at something I can achieve an end goal.

Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? Someone that wants to go into the medical field is someone I would suggest. This is a super fast pace practice with not much down time and it shows you have to know what you're doing and if you don't, there are intelligent people to help you. I think you'll definitely need to be outgoing and have confidence going to a place which might seem scary. The people there want to see you do well and have a great time. They are there to support you too.

2. I interned at: Dance Innovations

3. My internship experiences were (one or more words to describe it): Amazing

4. Describe your role and responsibilities during your internship: At Dance Innovations I taught and assisted in a variety of preschool classes. I helped prep and set up for all of the end-of-year shows. This included creating recital orders and posters as well as signs labeling a variety of things at a recital. Lastly, I was also responsible for creating surveys, helping customers, and answering the phones along with a few other small managerial tasks.

5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship: CHS prepared me very well for my internship by helping me develop the communication skills necessary to interact with a variety of people. From very young preschoolers all the way to their parents and grandparents, being able to convey important information in the right manner is crucial for all of the shows that we put on. Without CHS and through their open communication policies with teachers I wouldn’t have been as successful at that part of my job. CHS also taught me the importance of working efficiently and time management. My dance studio was very busy at the end of this year which meant we had to work very quickly to get everything we needed to do for all of our shows. CHS teaches us how to prioritize and accomplish a large number of tasks in a short amount of time.

6. What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience? I absolutely loved being able to teach the preschoolers as in my regular dance schedule this is something that I’m not able to do. All of the kids are so lively and full of joy and therefore it was great being able to share my passion with the next generation.

7. Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have? To be a good candidate for an internship at Dance Innovations the individual should be good with children as well as good time management skills. They must be willing to work hard and a little dance knowledge wouldn’t hurt.

My name is Emily Varley and I interned at St.Hubert’s. My internship experience was definitely insightful as it was a really cool learning experience that will help me in the animal science field. In the shelter in the mornings I cleaned either kennels or the catteries throughout the shelter. I would sanitaize, rinse, scrub, provide clean linens, and fresh water for the dogs on the days I were assigned to them. And for the cats, I would sweep, sanitize, provide fresh litter boxes, food, water, linens, and reorganize their rooms. In the afternoons, I would typically be doing the shelter’s laundry and folding clean linens, or putting away donated items to their respective places. I think that CHS prepared me by allowing me to make such wonderful connections with many people who worked in the shelter. I was able to communicate with them if I needed help, and learn about their jobs and what they do. Something that I loved about my internship was the animals. It was so cool to be able to help them and give them a clean space to live in. On the days where I didn’t have much to do, I would help socialize the cats and help them become more comfortable with people. Someone who would be a good candidate for this internship definitely has to be hardworking and willing. There is a lot of being on your feet for hours and cleaning up gross things. But in the end it is very rewarding and fun. All in all, this internship was a wonderful experience and I am sad that it is ending.

My name is Katie Colleton and I interned at Fleur de Sel on Main Street. My internship experience was fun and entertaining. My responsibilities for my internship included serving customers, boxing pastries, making coffees, cleaning the store, learning how to ring customers up, learning how to deal with difficult or upset customers, and learning how the front of the house works with the back of the house. I think the main thing that CHS prepared me for with my internship was how to deal with challenges and manage many things at once. one of the main skills needed to work in a bakery that has, at times, a rapid flow of customers is knowing how to manage everyone at once. I had practice with this with my school work and learning how to manage multiple classes in multiple components of something at one time. Something I loved about my internship is getting to know the people that work there and really bonding with them far more than I anticipated. sharing stories of growing up and Chatham with the alumni that work there was really fun and interesting and made the whole experience more positive. Someone I would recommend this internship to is someone who has good people skills and is capable of getting to know new co-workers as well as socializing with customers occasionally would be a good candidate for this internship because it is a lot of socialization .

My name is Ellie Herr and I interned at the Chatham High School Theater department with Mrs. Russo. My internship experience was fun, collaborative, busy, and very rewarding. During my internship my main responsibility was to film and edit theater two mockumentary. In addition to this I also organized costume pieces, made copies of the scripts for next year's productions, organized the people's choice awards for the theater banquet, organized past scripts, and helped set up and clear the stage for various events. At CHS I took theater classes, including theater two (which was the class I worked with the most) so I was familiar with the process of creating the mockumentary. Additionally, taking Video Production, TV Production, and Honors Short Films allowed me to increase my knowledge of working with a camera and editing. All of these classes were collaborative in nature which was very helpful seeing that this internship actively requires a lot of collaboration.

I loved working with the students in theater 2! They were so much fun to be around and every student was so creative. My most memorable experience was watching the final mockumentary together as a class and everyone was laughing and smiling. It was incredibly rewarding to see that all of our hard work had turned into something so wonderfully hilarious.

A good candidate for this job is anyone who has good collaborative skills, creativity, and is open minded, because you will work with a lot of people and they are all filled with wonderful ideas. On a more technical level, candidates should be able to operate a camera and be familiar with video editing.

I had a blast doing this internship! Everyone I worked with was so creative and talented, and I’m very proud of all we accomplished!

My name is Max Pelkey and I interned at Washington ave school in 3 different special ed classes.

My internship experiences was really rewarding

At the internship my job was to work with kids at stations with a worksheet or with reading and helping individually. As well as lunch and recess duty and supervising kids. I think chs helped me prepare by just over time gaining good communication skills. I felt comfortable talking to the teachers and emailing or texting them. Asking them questions ect and without emailing and getting help from my own teachers at school that experience would be very different.

My most memorable experience would be when at the end of my first week all the kids gave me cards for my birthday. They shooed me out of the room to play a game with a class next door and when i came back the lights were off and they popped out behind desks and surprised me. This happened in my other two classes as well. Just the feeling of acceptance and care from the teachers and especially the students so quickly was really amazing

A good candidate would be someone who is patient, a good listener, and ultimately able to laugh and have fun. Sometimes kids get upset and you have to be able to stay calm and help without letting it ruin your day.

Since I was previously a copy editor and columnist of the Chatham Summit Local magazine, I knew what the expectations were going into this. My responsibilities were to write a few articles as well as edit my peers' articles who were also on internship.I think CHS had me well prepared both professionally but also skill wise. For example, high level English classes made me a good writer and is definitely a skill i've developed over my school years. Something great about this internship was the creative freedom. At our meetings Ed would ask us what we wanted to do and wasn't bossy or demanding. A good candidate for this internship would be someone who enjoys journalism, likes to talk to people and converse, and cares for the community or whatever you are reporting.

My name is Isabelle Lewin. I interned at Lafayette Elementary School with the art teacher, Mrs. Kraemer. My internship was very entertaining and enjoyable. My responsibilities included helping Mrs. Kraemer organize her room, set up the room for incoming classes, teach the students what to do for their projects, and set up and take down the art show. CHS prepared me for my internship because being an officer and creative secretary for the chinese club allowed me to have leadership skills to handle the students, as well as taking a bunch of art classes and AP Drawing helped create a strong interest in art, which ultimately led to my choosing of an art related internship. What I really liked about my internship was helping out with the art show, because I got to see really great artworks that the Lafayette students created, as well as the other grade levels.  Important skills or interests for future candidates would be an interest in art, or possibly want a career in elementary education. It definitely involves a lot of working with kids, so having patience and compassion are necessary traits.

My name is Katie Do and I interned with Mrs. Kreamer at Lafayette Avenue School. If I had to describe my internship experience in one word it would be exhilarating. Every single day proved to be different. Every day we had a different class and worked on different projects. Some responsibilities I had while interning included setting up and taking down the art show, redistributing art work to students and help instruct kids with their various projects. I also had to set up the classroom and clean up the room between classes. CHS was able to help me immensely. The artistic experience I got from taking art classes in school enabled me to make helpful and considerate comments. I was also able to give some fun guidance. What I love most about interning is creating a connection with different students and solidify my role as "the art teacher." By the end of the internship program many of the students felt comfortable enough to ask for help in the hallways. Some skills that would be beneficial to have includes loving to work with younger children and being able to adapt since there are many ways a plan can go off track. It was a great way to end senior year and I wish that my internship experience lasted longer.

Hi my name is Mia Riddick and I interned at Gingham Giraffe preschool. My internship experiences was interesting, I already work with kids teaching gymnastics classes, but this allowed me to see a different side to young kids, I overall really enjoyed my experience. During my internship I shadowed teachers during lessons, As for responsibilities I was in charge of leading story times, prepping and completing activities with the children, and for keeping the kids safe and organized. I think CHS helped prepare me for my internship by teaching me about classroom management along with understanding how to work with others as I worked with other teachers and with the younger students. I loved working with the kids and seeing they’re view on life. It was fun to get close with them and form a bond in such a short amount of time. A good candidate for this internship must be patient and enjoy working with kids, you end up spending around 50 hours a week with children so if you don’t like them it’s going to be hard to truly enjoy the experience.

My name is Angela Yu

My internship was at Your Kid’s Urgent Care, located in New Providence

My internship experience was very interesting and meaningful because I was able to see many unique cases and learn how to approach them. I was also able to gain experience interacting with patients.

During my internship, I was responsible for sanitizing the rooms after each patient, taking phone calls when it was hectic, preparing and running tests, and taking patient’s vitals.

CHS prepared me by giving me the confidence to ask questions and gain hands-on experience during my internship. I was able to build a close relationship with each of the providers and ask valuable questions about their experience which definitely helped me alot.

I loved the energy in my internship. Working in urgent care, it was important to be awake and alert at all times because there was always a patient coming in and different problems to deal with. I loved how everyone worked together and communicated with each other so that everything was under control. Everyone in the facility was close and kind to each other which made “working” a fun time.

Someone who is interested in becoming a healthcare professional after high school would be a good candidate for this internship. This internship showed me how to interact with other co-workers and how there can be a lot of drama in healthcare. It is important to be understanding in healthcare because of ethics and how different people will have different opinions about treatments. What one doctor may think is beneficial, may be disagreed by another doctor. It is important to not be afraid to ask questions and be eager. If you don’t ask questions during this internship, the people there will question whether you're even interested in healthcare. It is important to be eager to perform tasks so that you gain valuable experience and show that you are determined.

I think it was such a great experience being able to intern at an urgent care so early on. I was able to ask so many questions and get answers directly from people who experienced medical school and training. I am able to take the knowledge I learned and take it with me to college. I definitely recommend reaching out to Your Kid’s Urgent Care if you are interested in becoming a healthcare professional in the future.

My name is Molly Alperowitz and I interned at Creative Speech Solutions. I would say my overall internship experience was educational, as well as engaging.

During my internship, I was mainly responsible for making materials. Creative Speech Solutions holds a summer camp, called Camp PAL every year, so I was in charge of creating activities, name tags, student bags, as well as therapist materials. I also spent a lot of time shadowing various speech and occupational therapists. I worked on basic administrative tasks, such as printing, laminating, cutting things out and filing.

CHS gave me many communication skills as well as time management strategies that reflected during my internship. CHS also taught me a lot about google doc/google sheets work that came in handy throughout the course of my internship.

What I loved most about my internship was the people. Everybody in the office was so kind to me and always willing to let me shadow or help me find something to do. It was a very welcoming and fun environment.

A good candidate for this internship would be someone who is very organized and detail oriented. You will be spending a lot of time working with google sheets and lists so it would be very helpful if you are good at managing your time. Being good with a printer would also be beneficial. Finally, I think a general interest in speech, feeding or occupational therapy would make for a much greater experience.

I also helped students with their voice parts, and helped manage the spring concert, organized the Lafayette music library and created a digital system to take inventory of sheet music, and helped Ms. Goodstein clean her classroom for the end of the year.
5. Describe how you think CHS prepared you for your internship:

I think CHS helped me by giving me the life skills to handle an internship professionally. I also think CHS helped me by giving me the confidence and energy to teach groups of children. It also gave me the problem-solving skills to address any challenges. Also, Chatham performing arts definitely gave me the musical background necessary to help explain all of the concepts to the students.
What did you love about your internship OR what is most memorable about your experience?
I loved seeing the excitement towards the performing arts in the lower grades. I also loved meeting students who were passionate about music and enthusiastic about attending chorus, music, or theater class. Theater and music have been a big part of my life, so I was glad to see so many students were excited about it. I also loved hearing that so many rising fifth-grade students want to audition for the Lafayette musical next year.

Who would be a good candidate for this internship in the future? What qualities/skills/interests are important to have?

A good candidate for this internship would be someone who is energetic, creative, and responsible. Whoever has this internship would need to support and be encouraging toward the students. It would also definitely help to have some kind of experience in music or choir.

Overall, I loved my experience as an intern and think I gained so much great experience.

My name is Tayla Markwell and I interned at Lafayette Avenue School. My internship experience was very fun and didn’t feel like a job. Some of my roles and responsibilities were checking the kids spelling, helping them with work, reading aloud to the class, helping Miss Killea with filing and other things around the classroom. I think CHS helped prepare me by being able to manage multiple things at once and deal with things that are thrown at me. Something I loved about my internship was everyday when I walked into the room the kids would yell Miss T and they all made me cards for the last day of school. I think anyone who likes kids and who has patience would be a good fit for this internship.

My name is Craig Raskin and I interned at Quantifi Solutions in Summit. Quantifi is a Fin-tech firm that has 4 global locations and produces financial software to aid banks and hedge funds. I was a part of the Quality Assurance team and my experience was engaging and interesting. The purpose of this team is to generally analyze, test and modify projects that developers in the NYC office produce. Each time the Summit office received a new load of software projects, they create ‘issues’ for what needed to be fixed in that project. I was trained and introduced to the software and services they use and generate. I specifically worked on building a python script that allows someone on the team to enter a project number and get the corresponding issues and their release notes categorized by the issue-type and the purpose of that issue. CHS prepared me well for my internship by supplying me with professional skills, computer science skills and business principles. I enjoyed how I was able to be independent, pick my hours, get my work done on my time, go out for lunch, etc. People who would be a good candidate for this internship are those who are interested in finance and technology.

My name is James Liao

I interned at the Orchestra for LAF avenue School

My internship experience was exciting and informative

I assisted in teaching students during lessons and rehearsals by giving instructions and suggestions. I helped prepare for the concert by organizing students and setting up the stage. During down time, I cataloged and organized the music library.

CHS helped me develop interpersonal skills to work with the teacher and the students. CHS also improved my work management skills which allowed me to better complete the tasks assigned to me.

I enjoyed being able to see how a teacher's job is. Teaching the Lafayette students was a fun and informative experience which improved my teaching skills further. It was also nice to get to know the students and see their passion in music. The most memorable experience was being able to conduct one of the high school orchestras.

Any candidate should be interested in music and wish to inspire other people to explore this field. They should also be compassionate and caring to better interact with the young students. Candidates should also be prepared to be pushed out of their comfort zone when teaching.

My name is Natalia Goldfield and I interned at Gingham Giraffe preschool. My internship experience was overall positive and enjoyable. I was responsible for assisting teachers setting up their classrooms, instructing children through crafts, and supervising play time. CHS prepared me for this internship by teaching me how a classroom should operate and how to communicate with adults. I had to talk to teachers and ask them where my help was needed and I felt comfortable doing this after communicating with teachers for so many years at CHS. I loved creating bonds with the kids and watching them interact with each other. It made me so happy when they remembered my name and would smile when they saw me every morning. A good candidate for this internship would be someone who is patient and someone who likes kids. I found myself needing to repeat instruction numerous times, making patience essential.

My name is Victoria Toledo
I interned at Creative Hands in Madison New Jersey
My internship experiences was insightful. My main role would probably be described as the apprentice of the studio. I mostly organized and cleaned and watched over the kids if the teacher had to go to another room. In a way CHS did prepare me for this with the art classes but I wasn't taught how to manage a classroom. My favorite part of this was getting to work with Miss Debbie again and the studio itself is a good environment. To work at an art school/studio someone needs to be creative. From my experience, the teacher definitely looks for someone trustworthy.

My name is Sophie Davenport. I interned at Gingham Giraffe Preschool.

My internship experience was absolutely amazing and I loved every minute of it.

I took on the responsibilities of making fun learning activities for the students, including letter or number packets. I also did the calendar and the weather report with them every morning. I would also read books to them, one of my favorites was “If you give a mouse a cookie”, they loved that one too. I also came up with fun craft ideas that would go along with our lesson.

I think chs prepared me in knowing how to work with others and especially with adults. It taught me how to approach situations from a different angle, for example a student was having a tough time making the letter z, so I found a different approach and he was extremely successful.

Best part was seeing the kids succeed and seeing them shine with a big smile on their face. It always made my day. Anyone who loves working with kids, is energetic and patient would be great for this internship.

My name is Delaney Kressler and I interned at CMS with Mrs. Lacey and her 8th grade civics classes. My internship experience was very refreshing as I got to interact with so many new people and I loved helping out the students and answering their questions (whether it be able civics or life at the high school). Some of my responsibilities included making copies, mailing letters, taking inventory, and answering students' questions! CHS most notably prepared me for this internship in the social aspect. The ability to meet with teachers in the high school for extra help taught me to interact with other people, especially those that are older and have more life experience. I loved getting to know the students, especially seeing how excited and curious they were about the high school journey that they are about to embark on. A future candidate for this internship should definitely be well-organized and social! I had a really great time overall and learned a lot!

My name is Jane Middleton and I interned at Mondo Marketplace. My internship experience was insightful as I was responsible for opening/closing the store, representing merchandise, and facilitating transactions with customers. The store owner was away for part of my time here, so I was running the store when she wasn’t here. Chatham prepared me for my internship by teaching me skills that could be applied to retail and practicing social skills that are needed when working with customers. I loved helping customers and interacting with new people. It was fun getting to know people that I wouldn’t normally interact with and facilitating transactions for the store when I made a sale. A good candidate would have to be personable, outgoing, polite, and organized. It would be good for an employee to be curious to learn more and for this person to be eager to help people in the store.
