ESTEVAN - The annual Take our Kids to Work Day on Nov. 6 gave Grade 9 students from the Estevan Comprehensive School and elsewhere the chance to enjoy some on-the-job learning.
Lennox Hodgens spent the day with his mother Morgan working at Estevan's oldest business, the Estevan Mercury. He said the experience was pretty good, and he found the Mercury to be an interesting place to work. His mother and her co-workers helped make the day enjoyable.
He helped his mother out with her administrative duties, including answering phones, working with the newspaper carriers and entering the ads that came in from the Mercury's sales team. He also learned the process of putting together a newspaper each week.
Lennox said Take Our Kids to Work Day is a good program, and he thinks the media would be an industry of interest in the future. Morgan added it was good to have Lennox around, as he's an "easy-going" young man who followed directions that day.
