Phillips High School JAG students participated in the State-Wide Service Project by collecting 200 pairs of socks to be donated to the Salvation Army to help the homeless population. This project was decided on by the Alabama NCA State Ambassadors who were inspired by "Bombas founders Randy Goldberg and David Heath who learned that socks are the number one most requested item in homeless shelters. As a result, Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Heath decided to create a company that would donate socks to people experiencing homelessness."
Marion County Schools would like to thank the Brilliant Sociology Class and the classes at Brilliant for their work in the food drive, SNAP-Ed REA Ginger Eatman for coordinating the project, Mr. Shane Stidham and Mr. Matt McCracken for their generous donations, Mr. Jason McCollum for the turkeys, and Mr. Law Lamar for the hams. A special thanks to Carla Lewis, Josh Berryhill, Deana Warner, and Jamie Colburn for packaging and delivering the donated food items. We appreciate everyone who helped with this project to pour love and compassion into our McKinney-Vento families this Thanksgiving season.

American Education Week - celebrating the power of education and thanking the educators and staff who do so much to make our schools the cornerstone of our communities and future.
No one should have to worry about whether they will have food on their plate or a roof over their head. As a society, we have the resources and knowledge to end hunger and homelessness — we just need the collective will to make these ideas a reality.

Phillips High: During a tour of the State House and the Capital hosted by Representative Tracy Estes, students received historical information concerning the history of our State Capital building and the current State House facility. In addition, our students learned about the process of how a bill is introduced to the legislature and how it may or may not become law.
They’re more than just teachers. They’re counselors, coaches, mentors, and friends. They deserve a full month of gratitude from all of us. Give your own heartfelt thanks to the special teachers in your life or share some kind words on social media. Thank you, Alabama Teachers!
A group of Marion County 4-H students traveled to Warrior Mountain Farms/Timber Rattlin Kennels. They visited with the cattle, hand fed them, branded a piece of oak for a souvenir, and learned about seed stock operations and the artificial insemination program. They also learned about competition hunting, coon hunting in general, and met Gold Champion GRNTCH Timber Rattlin Bookie. They had a great time!
