FFA Week: Hackleburg and Hamilton High School’s FFA officers did an excellent job speaking before the Marion County Board of Education today. Each shared information about FFA and the many projects they have completed. We are proud of these young ladies and young men!
Hackleburg High's FCCLA had a very busy FCCLA Week. This included:
member recognition with cookies, acts of service within the school, catering a delicious lunch for the faculty, sewing and collaborating with pre-k students on a project, making homemade doughnuts and running a coffee bar every week to raise money for the senior trip, and gathering donations and volunteering at the animal shelter in Florence. There are great things happening in Marion County Schools!
Hackleburg High's FFA hosted its 1st Annual Farmers and Supporters Breakfast this morning. The FFA thanked local members of the agricultural community with a complimentary breakfast after an informative FFA presentation/meeting. Great things are going on in Marion County!
