****Attention local business/industry****
The Marion County Career Coaches invite you to participate in:
2023 BRIDGE Job Fair
What - Job Fair for Graduating Seniors planning to go straight into the workforce/or those planning to attend local community colleges looking for part-time jobs after graduation
When: Friday, February 24th 9:00-12:00 Rotating school groups (9:00-11:00 Seniors from Marion County Schools & 11:00-12:00 open to the public)
Where: Bevill State Auditorium-Hamilton Campus
Registration Form:
https://forms.gle/8tUrHwbHrQ7q9aGw6
We would like to give the opportunity for graduating seniors to get a head-start to gain employment after graduation or know what options are locally available to them. We plan to partner with the Career Center, local/surrounding business and industry, and Bevill State.
Our local high schools will be bringing their senior class that want to come, or offer the opportunity to attend to just the students that still don't have a "plan" after graduation and are looking to go straight to the workforce, or possibly enroll in a local community college and need a part-time job.
Thank you in advance for all of your support.
Marion County Schools Career Coaches

Free and Reduced lunch application reminder:
Please remember that parents are eligible to apply for free or reduced lunches at any time during the school year. IF you have already applied and your income has changed, please reapply. You may apply at paypams.com/applynow (https://paypams.com/onlineapp.aspx) or by paper form that may be obtained at your student’s school. Parents/Guardians may apply as many times throughout the school year as needed. At this time, many of our students have overdrawn accounts and we need to work to clear up these overdrafts as soon as possible. If you applied and did not qualify and your income has not changed, we ask that you work with us to correct the overdrawn lunch accounts. Please call Jennifer Roberts at 205-921-3191 if you have any questions concerning free and reduced lunch applications.
