Briefly

The Pasco County School District is seeking teachers and will hold a job fair for college graduates and soon-to-be graduates from 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 25 at Sunlake High School, 3023 Sunlake Boulevard, Land O'Lakes.

This job fair is not just for education majors; those with or seeking degrees in other subjects are encouraged to attend. Through the district's professional development certification program, individuals who possess a bachelor's degree, and who qualify for a temporary teaching certificate under Florida law, receive professional preparation and experience required to earn the Florida professional certificate. The beginning salary for a teacher working 196 days annually is $38,120. The school district provides a no-cost health insurance option; has five CareHere wellness centers that provide free doctor visits, generic prescription drugs, X-rays and other benefits for employees who choose one of the district's health insurance options; employer-paid life insurance, and sick leave and planned days off.

Benefits and certification staff members will be on hand. Participants are eligible to win door prizes, including an iPad Mini. For information, visit pascoschools.org.

Community members are invited to sign up for the One Community Now Hunger Walk, which will take place at 9 a.m. March 12 at Gulf High School, 5355 School Road, New Port Richey. The walk is an effort to promote hunger awareness and raise money for hunger relief for children and families in Pasco County. The event will also include games, activities, vendors, food and entertainment. All money raised will go to food-related programs such as Metropolitan Ministries and Pack-A-Sack 4 Kids. Sign up to participate as an individual or team or as a business sponsor at onecommunityhungerwalk.org. For information, contact Patti Templeton, One Community Now, at (727) 375-8801, ext. 2232.
