Students at Mardela Middle and High School recently had a unique opportunity to connect beyond the classroom through a live virtual session with Tyler Smith, a well-known YouTuber, gamer, and content creator.
During the interactive Zoom experience, students gained firsthand insight into the world of digital content creation, gaming, and building an online brand. Tyler shared his personal journey, discussing how passion, creativity, and consistency played key roles in turning his interests into a successful career.
Students were especially engaged during the Q&A portion, where they asked thoughtful questions about career pathways, overcoming challenges, and what it takes to stand out in a competitive digital space. Tyler’s honest and relatable responses helped students see the wide range of opportunities available in modern careers, many of which extend far beyond traditional paths.
This experience not only inspired students to think creatively about their futures but also reinforced the importance of pursuing interests with dedication and confidence. Events like this highlight Mardela’s commitment to connecting students with real-world professionals and expanding their understanding of today’s evolving career landscape.

Mardela Blood Drive Makes an Impact
This month, the Student Government Association (SGA) hosted a successful blood drive to support critically low blood supplies across the Eastern Shore. Thanks to the generosity of staff, students, and parents, the drive collected 29 units of blood, helping to save lives in our community. SGA thanks everyone who stepped up to make a difference.

We NEED you at our CAREER FAIR DISCOVER DAY
Looking for businesses and organizations to share information about careers in their fields of expertise.
EMAIL : AMY RHODES at amrhodes@mywcps.org to get more information and register for the career fair.
What is a Career Fair?
A career fair is an interactive event that connects students with professionals from a wide range of industries. Booths are set up throughout the event space, and students move from station to station, engaging with different organizations and learning about a variety of career paths. This format allows students to explore, ask questions, and experience multiple fields in one setting. Rather than a formal presentation, a career fair is designed to be conversational, hands-on, and engaging, giving students the chance to interact, participate in activities, and begin envisioning their future.
